Package : bouncycastle
CVE ID : CVE-2018-1000180
It was discovered that the low-level interface to the RSA key pair
generator of Bouncy Castle (a Java implementation of cryptographic
algorithms) could perform less Miller-Rabin primality tests than
expected.
For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.56-1+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your bouncycastle packages.
