How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtasn1-6 package and not the libtasn1-6 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The _asn1_extract_der_octet function in lib/decoding.c in GNU Libtasn1 before 4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via a crafted certificate.
