Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.120196
Category:Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2013-236)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnupg' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2013-236 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnupg' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2013-236 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
GnuPG 1.4.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x treats a key flags subpacket with all bits cleared (no usage permitted) as if it has all bits set (all usage permitted), which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging the subkey.

The compressed packet parser in GnuPG 1.4.x before 1.4.15 and 2.0.x before 2.0.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) via a crafted OpenPGP message.

Affected Software/OS:
'gnupg' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.8
