This would allow an attacker to cause a crash by denial-of-service, or potentially execute arbitrary code, by tricking a user into processing a maliciously crafted assignments file. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2-3+deb8u3. We recommend that you upgrade your libtasn1-6 packages.
