The Bouncy Castle Crypto package is a Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms. This jar contains JCE provider and lightweight API for the Bouncy Castle Cryptography APIs for JDK 1.5 to JDK 1.8.
Bouncy Castle through 1.68 is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The Dump.class file utilizes the FileInputStream object when reading from user-provided files, but doesn't close these streams properly.
