Unbounded Iteration When Decrypting PKCS#7 Containers
AnalysisAI
Unbounded iteration during PKCS#7 container decryption exposes affected systems to a denial-of-service condition where a crafted cryptographic payload causes a parsing loop to run without termination bounds. The specific library or package is not identified in the available intelligence - Ubuntu is the reporting source, suggesting this affects a cryptographic library they distribute (candidates include OpenSSL, GnuTLS, NSS, or similar). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The service or application must actively invoke the PKCS#7 decryption path of the vulnerable library against attacker-supplied input. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk assessment is severely constrained by missing data: no CVSS vector, no CWE, no EPSS score, no KEV status, no POC, and no identified product or version. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No patch version or vendor advisory URL is available in the current intelligence. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
