Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.120562
Category:Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-278)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnupg' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-278 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnupg' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-278 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
GnuPG 1.x before 1.4.16 generates RSA keys using sequences of introductions with certain patterns that introduce a side channel, which allows physically proximate attackers to extract RSA keys via a chosen-ciphertext attack and acoustic cryptanalysis during decryption. NOTE: applications are not typically expected to protect themselves from acoustic side-channel attacks, since this is arguably the responsibility of the physical device. Accordingly, issues of this type would not normally receive a CVE identifier. However, for this issue, the developer has specified a security policy in which GnuPG should offer side-channel resistance, and developer-specified security-policy violations are within the scope of CVE.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
2.1

CVSS Vector:
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
