Description Alexander Bergmann 2016-05-13 12:41:58 UTC
rh#1335396

A vulnerability was found in libksba. The returned length of the object from _ksba_ber_parse_tl (ti.length) was not always checked against the actual buffer length, thus leading to a read access after the end of the buffer and a crash.

Upstream fix:
