Patch copied from upstream source repository:

https://gitlab.com/gnutls/libtasn1/commit/c593ae84cfcde8fea45787e53950e0ac71e9ca97

From c593ae84cfcde8fea45787e53950e0ac71e9ca97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] _asn1_decode_simple_ber: restrict the levels of recursion to 3

On indefinite string decoding, setting a maximum level of recursions
protects the BER decoder from a stack exhaustion due to large amounts
of recursion.
