Several security issues were fixed in Bouncy Castle.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8108-1 March 18, 2026 bouncycastle vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Bouncy Castle. Software Description: - bouncycastle: Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms Details: It was discovered that Bouncy Castle did not sanitize user input when inserting it into an LDAP search filter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform an LDAP injection attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-33201) It was discovered that Bouncy Castle incorrectly handled specially crafted F2m parameters in the ECCurve algorithm. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bouncy Castle to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-29857) It was discovered that Bouncy Castle leaked timing information when handling exceptions during an RSA handshake. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-30171) It was discovered that Bouncy Castle incorrectly handled endpoint identification with an SSL socket enabled without an explicit hostname. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a DNS poisoning attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-34447) Bing Shi discovered that Bouncy Castle incorrectly handled resource memory allocation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to causeBouncy Castle to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-8916) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS libbcjmail-java 1.77-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcmail-java 1.77-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpg-java 1.77-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpkix-java 1.77-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcprov-java 1.77-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbctls-java 1.77-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcutil-java 1.77-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 22.04 LTS libbcmail-java 1.68-5ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpg-java 1.68-5ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpkix-java 1.68-5ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcprov-java 1.68-5ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbctls-java 1.68-5ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 20.04 LTS libbcmail-java 1.61-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpg-java 1.61-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpkix-java 1.61-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcprov-java 1.61-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 18.04 LTS libbcmail-java 1.59-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpg-java 1.59-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpkix-java 1.59-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcprov-java 1.59-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 16.04 LTS libbcmail-java 1.51-4ubuntu1+esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpg-java 1.51-4ubuntu1+esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcpkix-java 1.51-4ubuntu1+esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro libbcprov-java 1.51-4ubuntu1+esm1 Available with Ubuntu Pro In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
