CryptX for Perl before version 0.065 contains a dependency that may be susceptible to malformed unicode

CryptX for Perl before version 0.065 includes a vulnerable version of the tomcrypt library that fails to properly handle malformed unicode characters, potentially allowing attackers to cause crashes or unexpected behavior.

CryptX embeds an outdated tomcrypt library (vulnerable to CVE-2019-17362) that improperly processes malformed unicode input. An attacker can supply crafted unicode sequences to trigger denial of service or undefined behavior in cryptographic operations. Update to version 0.065 or later to remediate.
