             Summary: Upgrade bouncycastle dependency to fix vulnerability
                 Key: CXF-7757
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7757
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2.4
            Reporter: Dominique Jacques-Brissette


Apache CXF has a dependency on org.bouncycastle:[email protected] which has a 
vulnerability known as CVE-2016-1000338 
(https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-1000338)

We discovered it in our projects via Snyk 
https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JAVA-ORGBOUNCYCASTLE-32340

The whole dependency chain is as follows

org.apache.cxf:[email protected] > 
org.apache.wss4j:[email protected] > 
org.apache.wss4j:[email protected] > 
org.apache.wss4j:[email protected] > 
org.opensaml:[email protected] > 
org.opensaml:[email protected] > org.opensaml:[email protected] > 
org.opensaml:[email protected] > org.opensaml:[email protected] > 
org.opensaml:[email protected] > org.cryptacular:[email protected] > 
*org.bouncycastle:[email protected]*

For example, if the transitive dependency cryptacular was at 1.2.2, 
then org.bouncycastle:[email protected] would be used and the 
vulnerability would be patched.
