Descriptions
The append_utf8_value function in the DN decoder (dn.c) in Libksba before 1.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by clearing the high bit of the byte after invalid utf-8 encoded data.
La función append_utf8_value en el decodificador DN (dn.c) en Libksba en versiones anteriores a 1.3.3 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una caída de servicio (lectura fuera de rango) borrando el bit del byte después de datos codificados UTF-8 no válidos.
