CVE-2023-53160: sequoia-openpgp vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access leading to panic

June 6, 2023 (updated July 28, 2025)

Affected versions of the crate have several bugs where attacker-controlled input can result in the use of an out-of-bound array index. Rust detects the use of the out-of-bound index and causes the application to panic. An attacker may be able to use this to cause a denial-of-service. However, it is not possible for an attacker to read from or write to the application’s address space.
