    Package : libtasn1-6
    CVE ID : CVE-2016-4008

    Pascal Cuoq and Miod Vallat discovered that Libtasn1, a library to
    manage ASN.1 structures, does not correctly handle certain malformed DER certificates. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause
    an application using the Libtasn1 library to hang, resulting in a denial
    of service.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.2-3+deb8u2.

    For the testing distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed
    in version 4.8-1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.8-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libtasn1-6 packages.
