Detail
| The version of GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard, an OpenPGP implementation) as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffers from two problems: fish stiqz reported on bugtraq that there was a printf format problem in the do_get() function: it printed a prompt which included the filename that was being decrypted without checking for possible printf format attacks. This could be exploited by tricking someone into decrypting a file with a specially crafted filename. The second bug is related to importing secret keys: when gnupg imported a secret key it would immediately make the associated public key fully trusted which changes your web of trust without asking for a confirmation. To fix this you now need a special option to import a secret key. Both problems have been fixed in version 1.0.6-0potato1. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 1845 | GnuPG tty_printf() Format String GnuPG contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code in the context of a user decrypting a given file. The issue is triggered when the attacker sends the victim a GPG message with a crafted filename, exploiting a format string vulnerability in the tty_printf() function. It is possible that the flaw may allow execution of code in the context of the target user, resulting in a loss of integrity. |
