Libtasn1: inefficient der decoding in libtasn1 leading to potential remote dos

Published Feb 10, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS 1.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw in libtasn1 causes inefficient handling of specific certificate data. When processing a large number of elements in a certificate, libtasn1 takes much longer than expected, which can slow down or even crash the system. This flaw allows an attacker to send a specially crafted certificate, causing a denial of service attack.
