Affected packages

• crates.io sequoia-openpgp: >= 1.13.0, < 1.21.0 → fixed in 1.21.0

Description

There is a denial-of-service vulnerability in sequoia-openpgp, our crate providing a low-level interface to our OpenPGP implementation. When triggered, the process will enter an infinite loop. Many thanks to Andrew Gallagher for disclosing the issue to us. Impact Any software directly or indirectly using the interface `sequoia_openpgp::cert::raw::RawCertParser`. Notably, this includes all software using the `sequoia_cert_store` crate. Details The `RawCertParser` does not advance the input stream when encountering unsupported cert (primary key) versions, resulting in an infinite loop. The fix introduces a new raw-cert-specific `cert::raw::Error::UnuspportedCert`. Affected software • sequoia-openpgp 1.13.0 • sequoia-openpgp 1.14.0 • sequoia-openpgp 1.15.0 • sequoia-openpgp 1.16.0 • sequoia-openpgp 1.17.0 • sequoia-openpgp 1.18.0 • sequoia-openpgp 1.19.0 • sequoia-openpgp 1.20.0 • Any software built against a vulnerable version of sequoia-openpgp which is directly or indirectly using the interface sequoia_`openpgp::cert::raw::RawCertParser`. Notably, this includes all software using the `sequoia_cert_store` crate.
