    Package        : php-phpseclib     Version        : 2.0.30-2~deb10u3     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-27354 CVE-2024-27355

    Security issues were discovered in php-phpseclib, a PHP library for     arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic, which could lead to Denial of     Service.

    CVE-2024-27354

        An attacker can construct a malformed certificate containing an         extremely large prime to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption         for an `isPrime` primality check).

        This issue was introduced when attempting to fix CVE-2023-27560.

    CVE-2024-27355

        When processing the ASN.1 object identifier of a certificate, a sub         identifier may be provided that leads to a denial of service (CPU         consumption for `decodeOID`).

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2.0.30-2~deb10u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your php-phpseclib packages.
