  • GHSA-mx76-r943-rf8gBouncy Castle LTS native GCM chunking can cause bad-tag exception on decryption2026-05-08ghsa · osvUS

    In Bouncy Castle LTS for Java, the AES/GCM native implementation used on Intel CPUs with AES PAA instruction sets (AVX / VAES / VAESF variants) can intermittently produce an incorrect authentication tag verification result during decryption when the ciphertext is fed in via a mix of `update()` calls followed by `doFinal()`. It is possible to work around it by either using `doFinal()` only (as the BCJSSE does) or by configuring the module to run in pure Java mode, by setting the system property "org.bouncycastle.native.cpu_variant" to java.
