Detail

Tavis Ormandy noticed that gnupg, the GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement, can be tricked to emit a "good signature" status message when a valid signature is included which does not belong to the data packet. This update basically adds fixed packages for woody whose version turned out to be vulnerable as well.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.6-4woody5.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.1-1.sarge3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.2.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg package.

Title: gpg in GnuPG before 1.4.2.2 does not properly verify non-detached signatures, which allows attackers to inject unsigned data via a data packet that is not associated with a control packet, which causes the check for concatenated signatures to report that the signature is valid, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-0455.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
23790 GnuPG gpg Unsigned Data Injection Detection Failure

Gnu Privacy Guard contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to inject unsigned data into a signed message. The issue is triggered when unsigned PGP packets are prepended or appended to legitimately signed packet streams. It is possible that the flaw may allow injected data to appear signed resulting in a loss of integrity.
