Last modified
CVE-2017-13098 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. BouncyCastle TLS prior to version 1.0.3, when configured to use the JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) for cryptographic functions, provides a weak Bleichenbacher oracle when any TLS cipher suite using RSA key exchange is negotiated. An attacker can recover the private key from a vulnerable application. EPSS estimates a 24.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
