pyasn1 vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 25.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

pyasn1 could be made to crash if it received specially crafted input.

Software Description:
- pyasn1: ASN.1 library for Python

Details:

It was discovered that pyasn1 incorrectly handled malformed RELATIVE-OIDs
with excessive continuation octets. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause pyasn1 to consume memory, leading to a denial of service.

package versions:

  python3-pyasn1                  0.6.1-1ubuntu0.1
