Related CVEs CVE-2026-30922


pyasn1 is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack caused by uncontrolled recursion when decoding ASN.1 data with deeply nested structures. This vulnerability can force the decoder to recursively call itself until the Python interpreter crashes with a RecursionError or consumes all available memory, crashing the host application.



For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 0.4.2-3+deb10u2.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.1.9-2+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your pyasn1 packages.
