CVE-2026-63575— PKCS#12 key derivation loops about 2^32 times on a zero or negative iteration count

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.

Bouncy Castle Inc. 的 bc-csharp 库（2.7.0 版本之前）在 PKCS#12 密钥派生（Pkcs12ParametersGenerator）中存在一个循环无法正确退出的漏洞。攻击者若能提供 PKCS#12（PFX）文件，或使用采用 PKCS#12 基于密码的加密算法的 PKCS#8 加密私钥，便可导致拒绝服务（DoS）——通过设置迭代次数为零或负数，引发 CPU 资源耗尽。这是因为密钥派生循环一直运行直到计数器等于设定的迭代次数；当迭代次数为零或负数时，计数器会经过约 2^32 次迭代

Vulnerability Title
PKCS#12 key derivation loops about 2^32 times on a zero or negative iteration count
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Loop with unreachable exit condition in the PKCS#12 key derivation (Pkcs12ParametersGenerator) in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp before 2.7.0 allows an attacker who can supply a PKCS#12 (PFX) file, or a PKCS#8 encrypted private key that uses a PKCS#12 password-based encryption algorithm, to cause a denial of service through CPU exhaustion via an iteration count of zero or below, because the derivation loop ran until its counter equalled the count, so for such a count it wrapped through about 2^32 iterations before the MAC or the password could be checked. A 75-byte PFX file with a negative MacData iteration count kept Pkcs12Store.Load busy for many minutes.
