- pyasn1 - ASN.1 library for Python
Details
It was discovered that pyasn1 did not properly bound the size of long-form
tag identifiers when parsing BER, CER, or DER encoded data. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause applications decoding untrusted
ASN.1 data to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-59884)
It was discovered that pyasn1 processed OBJECT IDENTIFIER and RELATIVE-OID
values in quadratic time relative to the number of arcs. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data
to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS,
and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-59885)

to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. This

and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-59885)
It was discovered that pyasn1 incorrectly handled conversion of decoded
REAL values to Python float types. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to consume
excessive CPU and memory resources, resulting in a denial of service. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS,
and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-59886)
It was discovered that pyasn1 incorrectly handled tracking component types
when decoding containers without a schema. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to consume
excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04
LTS, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.10. (CVE-2026-119194)
It was discovered that pyasn1 processed fragmented constructed strings and
indefinite-length ANY values in quadratic time. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to
consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. This
issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.10.
(CVE-2026-119195)
It was discovered that pyasn1 processed fragmented constructed BIT STRING
values in quadratic time. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to consume excessive CPU
resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-119196)
It was discovered that pyasn1 processed binary-encoded REAL values with
large mantissas in quadratic time. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to consume
excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service.
