ASN.1 allows for multi-byte tag numbers by setting the low five bits of the first tag byte to 0x1f. No tag that we need to handle has this format, and the existing checks for specific tag numbers will already fail to match against such a tag (treating it as a normal single-byte tag number). Refuse to parse any tag with a high tag number format, to guard against future bugs that could arise because the tag length would be calculated incorrectly.

iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
