Description Andrej Nemec 2016-04-11 09:49:46 EDT
The libtasn1 library, in its 4.7 version, can loop for a long time or indefinitely when it is used to parse DER representations of X509 certificates, leading to a denial of service. Some of these loops may in addition increase heap or stack usage, leading to more issues.
