NVD 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.

    The very first bug my .NET fuzzing found is finally public: a 75-byte PFX file that keeps BouncyCastle's Pkcs12Store.Load spinning for minutes. Fixed in 2.7.0. https://github.com/bcgit/bc-csharp/wiki/CVE-2026-63575 💪
