GHSA-537h-rv9q-vvphHighCVSS 7.5
Python-RSA decryption of ciphertext leads to DoS
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Python-RSA before 4.1 ignores leading '\0' bytes during decryption of ciphertext. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact, e.g., by helping an attacker to infer that an application uses Python-RSA, or if the length of accepted ciphertext affects application behavior (such as by causing excessive memory allocation).
