Test Kennung:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51490
Kategorie:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Titel:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:798
Zusammenfassung:NOSUMMARY
Beschreibung:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:798.

GnuPG[1] is an OpenPGP-compliant tool for secure communication used
to, for example, sign emails, encrypt, decrypt and verify (signed)
data.

Phong Nguyen discovered[2] a vulnerability (CVE-2003-0971[3]) in the
way GnuPG deals with type 20 ElGamal sign+encrypt keys which allows
an attacker to recover the corresponding private key from a
signature. Other keys, such as ElGamal type 16 used only for
encryption, are not affected.

This is a serious vulnerability with immediate impact: all ElGamal
type 20 keys should be revoked and considered to be compromised, as
well as data signed or encrypted with such a key.

Please note that:
- by default, GnuPG does not generate this type of key

- in order to create an ElGamal type 20 key, one must (in recent
versions of GnuPG) add the --expert command line option, and even
then a warning is given saying that this key should not be used. In
older versions, only the warning is given.

To identify the vulnerable type 20 ElGamal keys, look for the G
identifier in a key listing such as the example below:

pub 2048G/xxxxxxxx 2001-01-05 John Doe

Other keys (including the ones identified by g, lower case) are not
affected.

The packages provided with this update have a patch[4] created by
David Shaw which disables the creation of these keys and no longer
allows them to be used to create signatures.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
