cleanstart libtasn1 may mishandle decoded data

published 4 days ago
Summary

The libtasn1 library used by cleanstart can incorrectly process certain encoded inputs, which could cause the program to crash or allow unintended actions. This risk arises from a flaw in the asn1_decode_simple_ber routine that handles data decoding. Update libtasn1 to the latest version or apply the vendor's patch to mitigate the issue.

What to do
  • Update cleanstart libtasn1 to version 4.13-r0.
