Description
_gcry_md_block_write in cipher/hash-common.c in libgcrypt version 1.9.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow when the digest final function sets a large count value. Just decrypting some data can overflow a heap buffer with attacker controlled data, no verification or signature is validated before the vulnerability occurs. The issue is fixed in version 1.9.1.
