CVE-2026-103604— Quadratic-time escaping when converting X.509 distinguished names to strings

Quick assessment

Affected
Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. 发布的 bc-csharp 库在 2.7.0 版本之前存在算法复杂度低效的问题，具体发生在 X.509 distinguished name 字符串转换过程中（涉及 X509Name.ToString 和 IetfUtilities.ValueToString 方法）。该漏洞允许远程未认证的攻击者通过构造包含特定恶意内容的证书、CRL（证书吊销列表）、证书请求或其他结构，导致拒绝服务（DoS）攻击，具体表现为 CPU 资源耗尽。 漏洞成因在于：当 d

Vulnerability Title
Quadratic-time escaping when converting X.509 distinguished names to strings
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Inefficient algorithmic complexity in X.509 distinguished name string conversion (X509Name.ToString and IetfUtilities.ValueToString) in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp before 2.7.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service through CPU exhaustion via a certificate, CRL, certification request or other structure whose name contains a long attribute value made up of characters that must be escaped, such as commas, or of leading or trailing spaces, because each escaping backslash was inserted into the buffer being scanned, so the work grew quadratically with the length of the value. Applications are exposed when they convert such a name to a string, for example to log or display it, or compare it with IetfUtilities.RdnAreEqual, as PKIX path validation does for directoryName name constraints.
