Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33936)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in SigningKey.from_der() when parsing untrusted DER private keys. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted DER input to cause a denial of service.

The issue can trigger an internal IndexError instead of cleanly rejecting malformed DER.
