SCA: security update for org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk14, org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15, org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on (GHSA-r97x-3g8f-gx3m)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422476

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider versions 1.51 to 1.55, a carry propagation bug was introduced in the
 implementation of squaring for several raw math classes have been fixed
 (org.bouncycastle.math.raw.Nat???). These classes are used by our custom elliptic curve implementations
 (org.bouncycastle.math.ec.custom.**), so there was the possibility of rare (in general usage) spurious
 calculations for elliptic curve scalar multiplications. Such errors would have been detected with high
 probability by the output validation for our scalar multipliers. (CVE-2016-1000340)
