From c593ae84cfcde8fea45787e53950e0ac71e9ca97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 10:52:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] _asn1_decode_simple_ber: restrict the levels of recursion to 3 On indefinite string decoding, setting a maximum level of recursions protects the BER decoder from a stack exhaustion due to large amounts of recursion.
