ETK-2026-2769Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
pyasn1 before 0.6.5 can consume disproportionate CPU when schemaless BER, CER, or DER decoding processes attacker-controlled ASN.1 data. An attacker able to supply crafted valid encoded input to this decoding path may reduce service availability through CPU exhaustion.
mitigation
Upgrade pyasn1 to version 0.6.5. Until upgraded, avoid schemaless decoding of untrusted BER, CER, or DER data and apply input limits where possible.
fixed in 0.6.5
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
