spomky-labs/pki-framework is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

Medium Risk

spomky-labs/pki-frameworkTL;DR
RDN::equals() compares multi valued relative distinguished names by encoding both operands to ASN.1 and parsing them again, because Set::sortedSetOf() re-encodes elements on every sort and does not cache the result. A subject with many attribute value pairs makes each comparison expensive, and name comparison runs repeatedly during path validation and bundle lookups. A large multi valued RDN costs a fraction of a second per comparison, amplified across an operation. The fix caches encodings so comparison no longer re-parses.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you compare or validate certificates whose subject contains multi valued relative distinguished names from an untrusted source.
