Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption issue in the Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. Bouncy Castle for Java libraries (FIPS and LTS versions). It allows excessive allocation of resources, which means the affected software can consume more memory or processing power than intended due to improper handling in certain cryptographic API modules.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to excessive resource consumption, potentially causing performance degradation, denial of service, or system instability in applications using the affected Bouncy Castle Java libraries. This can disrupt normal operations and affect availability.
