+Subject: [PATCH] x509: Prevent infinite loop when parsing ietfAttrSyntax in
+ attribute certificates
+
+This is the same issue that was fixed with 407fcca200fd ("asn1-parser:
+Fix CHOICE parsing") for other CHOICE elements.  This one was missed and
+can be triggered pre-auth by sending an attribute certificate to a peer.
+Since it's parsed before verifying it, the certificate doesn't have to
+be valid.
+
+For versions older than 5.5.3, this patch requires prior application of
+the fix for CVE-2017-9023, which introduced proper CHOICE handling in
+the ASN.1 parser.
+
+Fixes: a17598bc6992 ("x509: Integrate IETF attribute handling, and obsolete ietf_attributes_t")
+Fixes: CVE-2026-78132
+CVE: CVE-2026-78132
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://download.strongswan.org/security/CVE-2026-78132/]
