----------------------------------
The bouncy castle is a test dependency. It is used for generation of various
certificates in tests. We need to upgrade this library to version 1.68
> Upgrade bouncycastle component versions

> Key: QPID-8501
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-8501
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Broker-J
> Affects Versions: qpid-java-broker-8.0.3
> Reporter: Dedeepya
> Priority: Major
>
> The below components are reported as vulnerabilities and need to be upgraded
> ||Component Name||Component Version||
> |org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on|1.66|
> The above package is vulnerable to Comparison Using Wrong Factors. The
> {{OpenBSDBCrypt.checkPassword}} utility method compared incorrect data when
> checking the password, allowing incorrect passwords to indicate they were
> matching with previously hashed ones that were different.
> [https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JAVA-ORGBOUNCYCASTLE-1052448]
> The Qpid Broker does not store passwords and hence wont do the comparisions.
> Thus, it is not vulnerable to the reported issue. Though, we need to upgrade
> the bouncycastle version in order to stop from being flagged by scanning tools
