Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Signature Bypass: Non-canonical DER length encodings with leading zero bytes allowed parsing of malformed payloads without rejection. In cryptographic contexts, this enables signature malleability where attackers can alter signature structures without invalidating the mathematical signature.
Information Disclosure: The 'DerObject::raw()' method historically returned slices containing trailing unparsed data instead of strict boundaries. This leak of raw underlying buffer data can expose sensitive information or pollute downstream cryptographic hashes.
