NewCVE-2025-9092 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.bouncycastle:bc-fips-debug to version 2.1.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via org.Bouncycastle.Crypto.Fips.NativeLoader. An attacker can cause excessive resource allocation by deploying hybrid modules in multi-JVM environments, potentially leading to resource exhaustion and service disruption.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by strictly limiting the number of JVMs providing services based on BC-FJA 2.1.0 to allow effective monitoring and cleanup on the server, or by configuring the module to write its files for native support to a file system with sufficient capacity.
