> Cluster Connection Load Balancing is susceptible to a {{BufferOverflowException}} when the Java Virtual Machine is configured with an alternative Security Provider for TLS, such as the Bouncy Castle Security Provider.
> The standard JDK [SSLSession implementation|https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/SSLSessionImpl.java#L1394] provides {{getPacketBufferSize()}} and {{getApplicationBufferSize()}} methods to support runtime determination of required buffer sizes for encrypted and decrypted records. The standard implementation calculates specific sizes based on TLS protocol version.
> The Bouncy Castle [SSLSession implementation|https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/blob/master/tls/src/main/java/org/bouncycastle/jsse/provider/ProvSSLSessionBase.java#L99] uses a hard-coded value of 16384 for the Application Buffer Size and uses a [worst-case scenario calculation|https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/blob/master/tls/src/main/java/org/bouncycastle/jsse/provider/ProvSSLSessionBase.java#L150] for the Packet Buffer Size.
> When running with the Bouncy Castle implementation, the NiFi {{PeerChannel}} can produce encrypted packets that exceed the prepared buffer size, resulting in a {{BufferOverflowException}}.
> Instead of using the {{SSLSession}} Application Buffer Size to expand the encrypted prepared buffer, the {{PeerChannel}} method should adjust the prepared buffer based on size of the current destination buffer. This approach should ensure correct behavior regardless of the TLS Security Provider implementation.
