Package : gnupg
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-0049

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.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

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.
