Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.58182
Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2007:024 (gpg)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory SUSE-SA:2007:024.

When printing a text stream with a GPG signature it was possible
for an attacker to create a stream with unsigned text, signed text
where both unsigned and signed text would be shown without distinction
which one was signed and which part wasn't.

This problem is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CVE-2007-1263.

The update introduces a new option --allow-multiple-messages to print
out such messages in the future, by default it only prints and handles
the first one.

gpg2 and various clients using GPG to check digital signatures are
affected too, but will be fixed separately.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
