Alexander Kjäll and Stig Palmquist discovered a vulnerability in python-gnupg, a wrapper around GNU Privacy Guard. It was possible to inject data through the passphrase property of the gnupg.GPG.encrypt() and gnupg.GPG.decrypt() functions when symmetric encryption is used.
The supplied passphrase is not validated for newlines, and the library passes --passphrase-fd=0 to the gpg executable, which expects the passphrase on the first line of stdin, and the ciphertext to be decrypted or plaintext to be encrypted on subsequent lines.
By supplying a passphrase containing a newline an attacker can control/modify the ciphertext/plaintext being decrypted/encrypted.
For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 0.3.6-1+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-gnupg packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
