Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56427
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-264-1 (gnupg)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-264-1 (gnupg)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to gnupg announced via advisory USN-264-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: gnupg Tavis Ormandy discovered a flaw in gnupg's signature verification. In some cases, certain invalid signature formats could cause gpg to report a 'good signature' result for auxiliary unsigned data which was prepended or appended to the checked message part. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1.2.4-4ubuntu2.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 1.2.5-3ubuntu5.3 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 1.4.1-1ubuntu1.2 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-264-1 Risk factor : Medium
