> USN-9011-1: pyasn1 vulnerabilities

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) 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. (CVE-2026-119197)
