Submit #92: Out-of-bounds read in LibTomCrypt 1.18.2 and earlier versionsinfo

TitleOut-of-bounds read in LibTomCrypt 1.18.2 and earlier versions
DescriptionThe der_decode_utf8_string function (in der_decode_utf8_string.c) does not properly detect certain invalid UTF-8 sequences. This allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) or read information from other memory locations via carefully crafted DER-encoded data.
