browserify-sign is a package to duplicate the functionality of node's crypto public key functions, much of this is based on Fedor Indutny's work on indutny/tls.js. An upper bound check issue in `dsaVerify` function allows an attacker to construct signatures that can be successfully verified by any public key, thus leading to a signature forgery attack. All places in this project that involve DSA verification of user-input signatures will be affected by this vulnerability. This issue has been patched in version 4.2.2.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6800-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that browserify-sign incorrectly handled an upper bound check in signature verification.
    If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a signature forgery attack.
