| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Bouncy Castle for Java. The DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) handshake reassembler allocates buffers based on an unchecked 24-bit length value. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted DTLS handshake message, leading to excessive memory allocation and a denial of service (DoS) condition.
