Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in the PKCS#12 MAC verification process. An attacker can bypass integrity checks by supplying a manipulated MAC with a truncated or zero-length value, which may be incorrectly accepted due to the use of an attacker-controlled comparison length.
