Descriptions

In LibTomCrypt through 1.18.2, the der_decode_utf8_string function (in der_decode_utf8_string.c) does not properly detect certain invalid UTF-8 sequences. This allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) or read information from other memory locations via carefully crafted DER-encoded data.

En LibTomCrypt versiones hasta 1.18.2, la función der_decode_utf8_string (en el archivo der_decode_utf8_string.c) no detecta apropiadamente determinadas secuencias UTF-8 no válidas. Esto permite a atacantes dependiendo del contexto causar una denegación de servicio (lectura y bloqueo fuera de límites) o leer información desde otras ubicaciones de memoria por medio de datos codificados con DER cuidadosamente diseñados.
