Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted PEM inputs or implement input validation and resource usage limits to mitigate potential impact.

Description

CVE-2025-61723 is a vulnerability where the processing time for parsing certain invalid PEM inputs increases non-linearly with input size. This affects programs that parse untrusted PEM data, potentially leading to performance degradation.
