Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow via the PGP verification process. An attacker can cause a crash or disrupt automated package or repository processing workflows by submitting specially crafted Ed25519 signatures with mismatched MPI lengths. This is only exploitable if the ENABLE_PUBKEY configuration option is enabled during build time.
