✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: When processing untrusted ASN.1 data with pyasn1, avoid calling prettyPrint(), str(), float(), int(), or performing comparisons or arithmetic on decoded Real (ASN.1 REAL type) objects. Instead, inspect the raw (mantissa, base, exponent) tuple directly. Where logging decoded ASN.1 structures is necessary, filter out or sanitize Real-typed values before conversion.
