More information:

• CVE-2017-10790

  The _asn1_check_identifier function in GNU Libtasn1 through 4.12 causes a NULL pointer dereference and crash when reading crafted input that triggers assignment of a NULL value within an asn1_node structure. It may lead to a remote denial of service attack.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.13-2+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your libtasn1-3 packages.
