Title:	Debian Security Advisory DSA 429-2 (gnupg)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update to gnupg;announced via advisory DSA 429-2.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update to gnupg announced via advisory DSA 429-2. Vulnerability Insight: Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates and uses ElGamal keys for signing. This is a significant security failure which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys used for signing. The update provided in DSA 459-1 disables the use of this type of key, using an interim fix. This update, DSA 459-2, implements a more correct and permanent fix provided by David Shaw. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.6-4woody3. We recommend that you update your gnupg package. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
