CVE-2023-50967 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the latchset jose library, including versions up to 11, and consequently, fedoraproject's jose and fedora distributions. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by providing a large PBES2 Count (p2c) value, leading to high CPU consumption. This vulnerability is rated High severity (CVSS 7.5), indicating it can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, resulting in a complete loss of availability. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
