Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.3-1 Severity: serious Tags: security patch -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
CVE-2006-3082: "parse-packet.c in GnuPG (gpg) 1.4.3 and 1.9.20, and earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (gpg crash) and possibly overwrite memory via a message packet with a large length, which could lead to an integer overflow, as demonstrated using the --no-armor option." Test case: perl -e 'print "\xcd\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe"'| gpg --no-armor The test case will reproducibly crash gnupg in both sid and sarge. There is a patch [1] in the GnuPG CVS that purports to fix the issue; I have not yet tested to see if it does (or even if it applies cleanly). Please mention the CVE in your changelog.
