Upgrade org.bouncycastle:bctls-fips to version 1.0.19 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Observable Discrepancy due to the timing difference between exceptions thrown when processing RSA key exchange handshakes, AKA Marvin.
Note: The implemented fix mitigates the leakage of data via the PKCS#1 interface, but does not fully alleviate the side-channel as it allows cases in which the padding check fails but the handshake succeeds.
