Packages

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
There is a denial-of-service vulnerability in sequoia-openpgp, our crate providing a low-level interface to our OpenPGP implementation. When triggered, the process will enter an infinite loop.
Many thanks to Andrew Gallagher for disclosing the issue to us.
## Impact
Any software directly or indirectly using the interface `sequoia_openpgp::cert::raw::RawCertParser`. Notably, this includes all
software using the `sequoia_cert_store` crate.
## Details
The `RawCertParser` does not advance the input stream when encountering unsupported cert (primary key) versions, resulting in an infinite loop.
The fix introduces a new raw-cert-specific `cert::raw::Error::UnuspportedCert`.
## Affected software
- sequoia-openpgp 1.13.0
- sequoia-openpgp 1.14.0
- sequoia-openpgp 1.15.0
- sequoia-openpgp 1.16.0
- sequoia-openpgp 1.17.0
- sequoia-openpgp 1.18.0
- sequoia-openpgp 1.19.0
- sequoia-openpgp 1.20.0
- Any software built against a vulnerable version of sequoia-openpgp which is directly or indirectly using the interface sequoia_`openpgp::cert::raw::RawCertParser`. Notably, this includes all software using the `sequoia_cert_store` crate.
