NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream axtls package and not the axtls package as distributed by Debian.

The asn1_signature function in asn1.c in Cameron Hamilton-Rich axTLS through 2.1.5 has a Buffer Overflow that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted certificate in the TLS certificate handshake message, because the result of get_asn1_length() is not checked for a minimum or maximum size.
