Source: voms-api-java
Version: 3.0.5-2
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

voms-api-java fails to build from source with the current version of
bouncycastle in experimental. We intend to upload this version to
unstable this weekend due to a serious security vulnerability in
version 1.49 and earlier versions of the bouncycastle crypto libraries.

I saw that you also maintain voms-api-java for Fedora. Fedora uses an
even newer version of bouncycastle and the Fedora and Debian packages
appear to be identical otherwise. So in theory your package should
work with the newer BC version too.

Upstream seems to work on a new release which will be based on BC
1.52.

Another option might be to temporarily disable the tests since they
appear to be the root cause for the build failures.

Regards,

Markus
