It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK generated weak password-based encryption keys used to protect private keys stored in key stores. This made it easier to perform password guessing attacks to decrypt stored keys if an attacker could gain access to a key store.

Description Tomas Hoger 2017-10-17 13:24:08 UTC 
It was discovered that key store implementations in the Security component of OpenJDK did not use sufficient number of iterations when generating password-based encryption keys used to protect private keys in key stores.  This made it easier to perform password guessing attacks to decrypt stored keys if an attacker could gain access to a key store.
