Description

The asn1_get_bit_der function in GNU Libtasn1 before 3.6 does not properly report an error when a negative bit length is identified, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause out-of-bounds access via crafted ASN.1 data.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-libtasn1-3
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libtasn1-6
