NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-github-sigstore-fulcio package and not the golang-github-sigstore-fulcio package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Fulcio is a free-to-use certificate authority for issuing code signing certificates for an OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity. Prior to 1.8.3, function identity.extractIssuerURL splits (via a call to strings.Split) its argument (which is untrusted data) on periods. As a result, in the face of a malicious request with an (invalid) OIDC identity token in the payload containing many period characters, a call to extractIssuerURL incurs allocations to the tune of O(n) bytes (where n stands for the length of the function's argument), with a constant factor of about 16. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.3.
