CVE-2024-4603 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.8 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption due to improper user input validation in the EVP_PKEY_param_check or EVP_PKEY_public_check functions. An attacker can cause a denial of service by supplying excessively long DSA keys or parameters obtained from an untrusted source.
Note:
OpenSSL does not call these functions on untrusted DSA keys, so only applications that directly call these functions may be vulnerable.
Also vulnerable are the OpenSSL pkey and pkeyparam command line applications when using the "-check" option.
