Echo: pyasn1: security update to 0.6.1-1+deb13u2+e3

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460507

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - pyasn1 is a generic ASN.1 library for Python. Prior to 0.6.4, the BER decoder shared by the CER and DER
 codecs parses long-form tags by accumulating continuation octets without an upper bound on the tag ID
 size, allowing a crafted input to force construction of an arbitrarily large integer with CPU cost growing
 quadratically and to trigger unhandled ValueError exceptions in Python 3.11+ error formatting paths. Any
 application decoding untrusted BER, CER, or DER input is affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.6.4.
 (CVE-2026-59884)

Solution

Update the pyasn1 library and its related packages to version 0.6.1-1+deb13u2+e3 or later.
