+ <title>GnuPG: Incorrect signature verification</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ GnuPG may erroneously report a modified or unsigned message has a valid
+ digital signature.

+ <p>
+ The GNU Privacy Guard, GnuPG, is a free replacement for the PGP
+ suite of cryptographic software that may be used without restriction,
+ as it does not rely on any patented algorithms. GnuPG can be used to
+ digitally sign messages, a method of ensuring the authenticity of a
+ message using public key cryptography.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ OpenPGP is the standard that defines the format of digital
+ signatures supported by GnuPG. OpenPGP signatures consist of multiple
+ sections, in a strictly defined order. Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo
+ Linux Security Audit Team discovered that certain illegal signature
+ formats could allow signed data to be modified without detection. GnuPG
+ has previously attempted to be lenient when processing malformed or
+ legacy signature formats, but this has now been found to be insecure.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker may be able to construct or modify a
+ digitally-signed message, potentially allowing them to bypass
+ authentication systems, or impersonate another user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GnuPG users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.2.2"</code>
