source listed>= 1.59, <= 1.80.1
The GOST 28147-2015 CTR mode implementation (`G3413CTRBlockCipher`) in the Legion of the Bouncy Castle BC-JAVA `bcprov` core module only increments the final byte of the counter, so the counter wraps after 255 blocks and the keystream is reused. Reusing CTR keystream allows an attacker who can observe two ciphertexts produced with the same key/IV to recover the XOR of the plaintexts, breaking confidentiality. Affects BC-JAVA from 1.59 before 1.84 (with backported fixes in 1.80.2 and 1.81.1).

03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. NIST National Vulnerability Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
- NVD lastModified does not establish freshness of every associated CPE record.
