Description
A flaw was found in pyasn1. A remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending specially crafted Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) data containing multiple constructed bit string fragments. When decoding these fragments, the library repeatedly copies and shifts accumulated bit data, leading to quadratic processing time and excessive CPU consumption.
