    Package        : libtasn1-6
    Version        : 4.16.0-2+deb11u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-12133
    Debian Bug     : 1095406

    Bing Shi discovered that libtasn1-6, a runtime library to manage ASN.1
    structures, had inefficient handling of certificate data with a large
    number of names or name constraints, potentially leading to Denial of
    Service upon specially crafted certificates.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    4.16.0-2+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libtasn1-6 packages.

    For the detailed security status of libtasn1-6 please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libtasn1-6
