Description
| Details | |
| --- | --- |
| Package | `rustls-webpki` |
| Version | `0.101.7` |
| URL | n/a |
| Patched Versions | >=0.103.13, <0.104.0-alpha.1 OR >=0.104.0-alpha.7 |
| Aliases | [GHSA-82j2-j2ch-gfr8](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-82j2-j2ch-gfr8) |
A panic was reachable when parsing certificate revocation lists via [`BorrowedCertRevocationList::from_der`]
or [`OwnedCertRevocationList::from_der`]. This was the result of mishandling a syntactically valid empty
`BIT STRING` appearing in the `onlySomeReasons` element of a `IssuingDistributionPoint` CRL extension.
This panic is reachable prior to a CRL's signature being verified.
Applications that do not use CRLs are not affected.
Thank you to [@tynus3](https://github.com/tynus3) for the report.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating how bdk-cli depends on rustls-webpki and identify whether the vulnerable version is direct or transitive; use the patched versions listed in the issue as the target. Done means the dependency no longer resolves to 0.101.7 and the existing project checks pass.
