DescriptionA flaw was found in Bouncy Castle for the Java pkix module, which is vulnerable to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) issue within the org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMParser class. This class parses OpenSSL PEM encoded streams containing X.509 certificates, PKCS8 encoded keys, and PKCS7 objects. Parsing a file that has crafted ASN.1 data through the PEMParser causes an OutOfMemoryError, which can enable a denial of service attack.A flaw was found in Bouncy Castle for the Java pkix module, which is vulnerable to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) issue within the org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMParser class.
