Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the DoTls13CertificateVerify process when handling a dual-algorithm CertificateVerify message due to improper bounds checking on crafted input. An attacker can cause the application to read memory outside the intended buffer by sending specially crafted messages. This is only exploitable if both the --enable-experimental and --enable-dual-alg-certs build options are enabled.
