Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The ASN1_TFLG_COMBINE implementation in crypto/asn1/tasn_dec.c mishandles errors caused by malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE data, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by triggering a decoding failure in a PKCS#7 or CMS application.
