1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU48480

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28362

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in a number of math/big.Int methods (Div, Exp, DivMod, Quo, Rem, QuoRem, Mod, ModInverse, ModSqrt, Jacobi, and GCD). A remote attacker can pass large input data to the application, specifically as divisor or modulo argument larger than 3168 bits (on 32-bit architectures) or 6336 bits (on 64-bit architectures).

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
