waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-496x-2f25-59fj ↗EUVD-2026-91217 ↗
description
BouncyCastle.Cryptography versions before 2.7.0 can allocate excessive memory while reassembling DTLS handshake messages. An unauthenticated remote DTLS peer may exhaust process memory and cause a denial of service when it can initiate a DTLS handshake; DTLS clients and servers are affected, but TLS is not.
mitigation
Upgrade BouncyCastle.Cryptography to version 2.7.0. Until upgraded, restrict DTLS handshake access to trusted peers where feasible.
fixed in 2.7.0
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
