The read_binary function in buffer.c in pgpdump, a PGP packet visualizer, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via crafted input. This was assigned CVE-2016-4021.

Also, the read_radix64 function the might read data from beyond the end of a buffer from crafted input.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 0.27-1+deb7u1.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, these problems will be fixed in version 0.28-1+deb8u1, part of the upcoming point release

For Debian 9 ‘Stretch’ and ‘Sid’, these problems have been fixed in version 0.31-0.1

We recommend that you upgrade your pgpdump 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.
