Description

gf2n.cpp in Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 8.9.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via DER public-key data for an F(2^m) curve, if the degree of each term in the polynomial is not strictly decreasing.

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-libcryptopp-devel
  • suse-upgrade-libcryptopp5_6_5
  • suse-upgrade-libcryptopp5_6_5-32bit
