Colm O hEigeartaigh commented on CXF-7757:
------------------------------------------
CXF actually includes BouncyCastle 1.59 as a provided dependency in
cxf-rt-ws-security, so it is not vulnerable. I did a maven dependency:tree on
the CXF source and BouncyCastle 1.54 does not appear anywhere in the list of
dependencies.
I think you should file a bug report with OpenSAML to upgrade the Cryptacular
dependency instead, and then we could pick up the OpenSAML update in CXF.

> 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
> Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
> Priority: Major
>
> Apache CXF has a dependency on org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on@1.54 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:cxf-rt-ws-security@3.2.4 >
> org.apache.wss4j:wss4j-ws-security-policy-stax@2.2.1 >
> org.apache.wss4j:wss4j-ws-security-stax@2.2.1 >
> org.apache.wss4j:wss4j-ws-security-common@2.2.1 >
> org.opensaml:opensaml-xacml-saml-impl@3.3.0 >
> org.opensaml:opensaml-saml-impl@3.3.0 > org.opensaml:opensaml-soap-impl@3.3.0
> > org.opensaml:opensaml-soap-api@3.3.0 >
> org.opensaml:opensaml-xmlsec-api@3.3.0 >
> org.opensaml:opensaml-security-api@3.3.0 > org.cryptacular:cryptacular@1.1.1
> > *org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on@1.54*
> For example, if the transitive dependency cryptacular was at 1.2.2,
> then org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on@1.59 would be used and the
> vulnerability would be patched.
