Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-12-23 17:48:31 UTC 
Description:
"In LibTomCrypt through 1.18.2, the der_decode_utf8_string function (in der_decode_utf8_string.c) does not properly detect certain invalid UTF-8 sequences. This allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) or read information from other memory locations via carefully crafted DER-encoded data."

Patch 1: https://github.com/libtom/libtomcrypt/commit/25c26a3b7a9ad8192ccc923e15cf62bf0108ef94

I'll apply the patch later. Ideally, the comments on the test case patch would be resolved first.

I'm not convinced this is actually fixed: https://github.com/libtom/libtomcrypt/issues/561
