NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgnutlsxx28 package and not the libgnutlsxx28 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The _asn1_check_identifier function in GNU Libtasn1 through 4.12 causes a NULL pointer dereference and crash when reading crafted input that triggers assignment of a NULL value within an asn1_node structure. It may lead to a remote denial of service attack.
