| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnupg' package(s) announced via the SSA:2006-340-01b advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Hello,
As many people have pointed out, the last advisory (SSA:2006-340-01)
was not signed with the usual Slackware Security Team key
(fingerprint 40102233). I did some reconfiguration on the box that
does the distribution signing and it had some unintended
side-effects. :-/ Several CHECKSUMS.md5.asc files were also signed
with the wrong key.
The affected CHECKSUMS.md5 files have been resigned and uploaded, and
this announcement has also been signed (and verified :-) using the
usual primary Slackware signing key.
Also, it was noticed that the URL given to lists.gnupg.org was either
incorrect or has changed since the advisory was issued. This error
has also been corrected.
Sorry for any confusion.
Pat
