Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value Affecting org.bouncycastle:bcprov-ext-jdk14 package, versions [0,]
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

NewCVE-2026-14682 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for org.bouncycastle:bcprov-ext-jdk14.
Overview
org.bouncycastle:bcprov-ext-jdk14 is a Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value in the toByteArray() method of DefiniteLengthInputStream, which allocates new byte[(int)_remaining] up front from the declared ASN.1 definite-length value before reading any content. An attacker can drive the JVM to OutOfMemoryError with a small input by supplying an ASN.1 structure whose definite-length header declares a near-heap-sized length that the content never satisfies. This requires the application to parse attacker-supplied ASN.1 or DER input, such as certificates, CMS structures, or keys, through Bouncy Castle.
