CVE-2025-13151 (libtasn1 - off-by-one in asn1_expand_octet_string, fixed in
4.20.0)

 The fix changes:
   char name[2 * ASN1_MAX_NAME_SIZE + 1]

 to:
   char name[2 * ASN1_MAX_NAME_SIZE + 2]

 This applies to two functions: asn1_expand_any_defined_by and
 asn1_expand_octet_string.

gnutls28 vendor libtasn1 internally and show a partial fix -
asn1_expand_any_defined_by has been updated (+ 2 present) but

asn1_expand_octet_string still carries the vulnerable version (+ 1):
   - gnutls28 (lib/minitasn1/decoding.c)

     asn1_expand_any_defined_by: patched
     asn1_expand_octet_string: VULNERABLE

Thanks Gajendra Nath Soren
