This release fixes CVE-2017-13098 ("ROBOT"), a Bleichenbacher oracle in TLS
when RSA key exchange is negotiated. This potentially affected BCJSSE servers
and any other TLS servers configured to use JCE for the underlying crypto -
note the two TLS implementations using the BC lightweight APIs
are not affected by this.
Some of additional fixes, features and functionality:
* GOST3410-94 private keys encoded using ASN.1 INTEGER are now accepted
in private key info objects; GOST3412-2015 has been added
to the JCE provider and the lightweight API.
* SCRYPT is now supported as a SecretKeyFactory in the provider and
in the PKCS8 APIs.
* The BCJSSE provider now supports Server Name Indication,
session resumption in clients, the jdk.tls.namedGroups and
org.bouncycastle.jsse.ec.disableChar2 system properties.
* ECGOST-2012 public keys were being encoded with the wrong OID
for the digest parameter in the algorithm parameter set. This has been fixed.
* The BCJSSE SSLEngine implementation now correctly wraps/unwraps
application data only in whole records.
