What is CVE-2016-8212?

An improper OCSP validation vulnerability exists in EMC's RSA BSAFE Crypto-J. In affected versions, the system incorrectly interprets the absence of the nextUpdate field in OCSP responses as validation for an indefinite period. This flaw could potentially allow unauthorized access by ignoring expiration constraints, thereby undermining the efficacy of OCSP for certificate status verification. Users are urged to update to versions 6.2.2 or later to mitigate this security risk.
