MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:061 : gnupg

 

May 22nd, 2003

Updated gnupg packages fix validation bug

 

A bug was discovered in GnuPG versions 1.2.1 and earlier. When gpg evaluates trust values for different UIDs assigned to a key, it would incorrectly associate the trust value of the UID with the highest trust value with every other UID assigned to that key. This prevents a warning message from being given when attempting to encrypt to an invalid UID, but due to the bug, is accepted as valid.

 

Patches have been applied for version 1.0.7 and all users are encouraged to upgrade.

 

 

The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are:

  • 8.2

 

[*] 8.2/PPC

 

[*] 9.0

 

[*] 9.1

 

[*] 9.1/PPC

 

[*] Multi Network Firewall 8.2

 

[*] Corporate Server 2.1
