PYSEC-2024-225

Quick fix

PYSEC-2024-225 — cryptography: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'cryptography>=97d231672763cdb5959a3b191e692a362f1b9e55'

Details

cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. Starting in version 38.0.0 and prior to version 42.0.4, if `pkcs12.serialize_key_and_certificates` is called with both a certificate whose public key did not match the provided private key and an `encryption_algorithm` with `hmac_hash` set (via `PrivateFormat.PKCS12.encryption_builder().hmac_hash(...)`, then a NULL pointer dereference would occur, crashing the Python process. This has been resolved in version 42.0.4, the first version in which a `ValueError` is properly raised.
