    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    Bug Fix(es):

    * The RSAPSSSignature implementation works with RSA keys via the SunRSASign provider. However, it did not     fully check that the RSA key could be used by the provider before attempting to do so, leading to the     possibility of errors being returned with custom security providers. The implementation now validates RSA     keys and will allow other providers to handle such keys where it cannot. (RHBZ#2188024)
