Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59118
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-432-1 (gnupg)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to gnupg
announced via advisory USN-432-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

Gerardo Richarte from Core Security Technologies discovered that when
gnupg is used without --status-fd, there is no way to distinguish
initial unsigned messages from a following signed message. An attacker
could inject an unsigned message, which could fool the user into
thinking the message was entirely signed by the original sender.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
gnupg 1.4.1-1ubuntu1.7

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
gnupg 1.4.2.2-1ubuntu2.5

Ubuntu 6.10:
gnupg 1.4.3-2ubuntu3.3

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
