HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Libksba versions prior to 1.3.2
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted OID in a S/MIME message or ECC based OpenPGP data, which triggers a buffer overflow. This occurs due to an integer underflow in the
ksba oid to str function.Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.3.2, update to version 1.3.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of S/MIME messages and ECC based OpenPGP data to minimize the risk of exploitation.
