Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68200
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-970-1 (gnupg2)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-970-1 (gnupg2)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to gnupg2 announced via advisory USN-970-1. Details follow: It was discovered that GPGSM in GnuPG2 did not correctly handle certificates with a large number of Subject Alternate Names. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted certificate, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: gpgsm 2.0.7-1ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 9.04: gpgsm 2.0.9-3.1ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 9.10: gpgsm 2.0.12-0ubuntu2.1 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: gpgsm 2.0.14-1ubuntu1.2 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-970-1 Risk factor : High
