Summary
sequoia-openpgp vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access leading to panic
Details

Affected versions of the crate have several bugs where attacker-controlled input can result in the use of an out-of-bound array index. Rust detects the use of the out-of-bound index and causes the application to panic. An attacker may be able to use this to cause a denial-of-service. However, it is not possible for an attacker to read from or write to the application's address space.

Severity ?
2.9 (Low)
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
