+ <p>
+ Libtasn1 is a library used to parse ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax
+ Notation One) objects, and perform DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
+ decoding. Libtasn1 is included with the GNU TLS library, which is used
+ by applications to provide a cryptographically secure communications
+ channel.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Evgeny Legerov has reported a flaw in the DER decoding routines
+ provided by libtasn1, which could cause an out of bounds access to
+ occur.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could cause an application using libtasn1 to
+ crash and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially
+ crafted input.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libtasn1-0.2.18"</code>

+ All GNU TLS users should upgrade to the latest version:
