Vulnerable code was introduced only in version 1.73 via bcgit/bc-java@1b9fd9b, which was later fixed by bcgit/bc-java@9c16579 and bcgit/bc-java@ebe1c75.
org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15ondoes not have version 1.73 as per https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on, so this vulnerability is not relevant to it at all.
