Details
It was discovered that Botan could have compiler dependent operations
induced under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause undefined behavior. (CVE-2024-50382, CVE-2024-50383)
Bing Shi discovered that Botan did not limit the size of certain inputs
when checking primality and name constraints. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-34702,
CVE-2024-34703)
It was discovered that Botan did not correctly handle conflicting name
constraints. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass
authentication. (CVE-2024-39312)
