          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: java-1.4.2-gcj-compat
        AssignedTo: fitzsim at redhat.com

>From BouncyCastle 1.34 release notes:

Security Advisory If you are using RSA with a public exponent of three you 
must upgrade to this release if you want to avoid recent forgery attacks that 
have been described against specific implementations of the RSA signature 
algorithm.

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat in FC5 ship with BC 1.31 and may thus be affected.
