Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:057 (gnupg)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gnupg announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:057. The OpenPGP protocol is vulnerable to a timing-attack in order to gain plain text from cipher text. The timing difference appears as a side effect of the so-called quick scan and is only exploitable on systems that accept an arbitrary amount of cipher text for automatic decryption. The updated packages have been patched to disable the quick check for all public key-encrypted messages and files. Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 9.2, Corporate 3.0, Corporate Server 2.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2005:057 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0366 http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/303094 http://www.pgp.com/library/ctocorner/openpgp.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
