It was discovered that pyasn1 did not properly bound the size of long-form tag identifiers when parsing BER, CER, or DER encoded data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. ( CVE-2026-59884 ) It was discovered that pyasn1 processed OBJECT IDENTIFIER and RELATIVE-OID values in quadratic time relative to the number of arcs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. ( CVE-2026-59885 ) It was discovered that pyasn1 incorrectly handled conversion of decoded REAL values to Python float types. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications decoding untrusted ASN.1 data to consume excessive CPU...

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Reduce your security exposure
Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
