Descriptions

latchset jose through version 11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large p2c (aka PBES2 Count) value.

Latchset jose hasta la versión 11 permite a los atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de CPU) a través de un valor grande de p2c (también conocido como PBES2 Count).

A flaw was found in the Jose package, where a large number of iterations used to derive the wrapping key for the PBKDF2 algorithm may lead to a denial of service. This flaw allows an attacker to set a large number of `PBKDF2' iterations, triggering an uncontrolled resource consumption that impacts the availability of the targeted application.
