Description
An issue was discovered in p11-kit 0.21.1 through 0.23.21. Multiple integer overflows have been discovered in the array allocations in the p11-kit library and the p11-kit list command, where overflow checks are missing before calling realloc or calloc.
Statement
The p11-kit library is primarily intended to be used locally, in which case the attacker needs to have sufficient permission to access the p11-kit communication. Although there may be use cases of p11-kit being used with a remote entity, all parties must be considered trusted. As a result, Red Hat considers this vulnerability with a Medium severity.
