jose: Denial of service due to uncontrolled CPU consumption

A flaw was found in the Jose package, where a large number of iterations used to derive the wrapping key for the PBKDF2 algorithm may lead to a denial of service. This flaw allows an attacker to set a large number of PBKDF2' iterations, triggering an uncontrolled resource consumption that impacts...

jose4j: denial of service via specially crafted JWE

A flaw was found in the jose.4.j jose4j library. The JWE key management algorithms based on PBKDF2 require a JOSE Header Parameter called p2c PBES2 Count. This parameter dictates the number of PBKDF2 iterations needed to derive a CEK wrapping key. Its primary purpose is to intentionally slow down...
