Detail
| Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates and uses ElGamal keys for signing. This is a significant security failure which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys used for signing. The update provided in DSA 459-1 disables the use of this type of key, using an interim fix. This update, DSA 459-2, implements a more correct and permanent fix provided by David Shaw. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.6-4woody3. We recommend that you update your gnupg package. |

| 2869 | GnuPG ElGamal Encrypt+Sign Private Key Disclosure GnuPG has a serious flaw that compromises any ElGamal key used for signing or encrypting material. When GnuPG creates ElGamal sign+encrypt keys (type 20), it does so in a cryptographically weak way. This can be exploited to compromise the private key. |
