SCA: security update for org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk14, org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15, org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on (GHSA-rrvx-pwf8-p59p)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423359

Description

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

 - In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the DSA key pair generator generates a weak
 private key if used with default values. If the JCA key pair generator is not explicitly initialised with
 DSA parameters, 1.55 and earlier generates a private value assuming a 1024 bit key size. In earlier
 releases this can be dealt with by explicitly passing parameters to the key pair generator.
 (CVE-2016-1000343)
