Cancel that.  My fault ... I'd missed that I had some old libraries

[Announce] [security fix] GnuPG 1.4.14 released

2013-07-25 Thread Werner Koch
Hello!

We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable GnuPG-1
release: Version 1.4.14.  This is a *security fix* release and all users
of GnuPG  2.0 are advised to updated to this version.  See below for
the impact of the problem.

For users of GnuPG = 2.0 a new version of Libgcrypt (1.5.3) has been
released which fixes the problem for them.

The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication
and data storage.  It is a complete and free replacement of PGP and
can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures.  It
includes an advanced key management facility, smartcard support and is
compliant with the OpenPGP Internet standard as described by RFC-4880.

Note that this version is from the GnuPG-1 series and thus smaller than
those from the GnuPG-2 series, easier to build, and also better portable
to ancient platforms.  In contrast to GnuPG-2 (e.g version 2.0.20) it
comes with no support for S/MIME, Secure Shell, or other tools useful
for desktop environments.  Fortunately you may install both versions
alongside on the same system without any conflict.


What's New
===

* Mitigate the Yarom/Falkner flush+reload side-channel attack on
  RSA secret keys.  See http://eprint.iacr.org/2013/448.

* Fixed IDEA for big-endian CPUs

* Improved the diagnostics for failed keyserver lockups.

* Minor bug and portability fixes.


Impact of the Cache Side-Channel Attack
===

Here is the abstract from the Yarom and Falkner paper:

  Flush+Reload is a cache side-channel attack that monitors access to
  data in shared pages. In this paper we demonstrate how to use the
  attack to extract private encryption keys from GnuPG.  The high
  resolution and low noise of the Flush+Reload attack enables a spy
  program to recover over 98% of the bits of the private key in a
  single decryption or signing round. Unlike previous attacks, the
  attack targets the last level L3 cache. Consequently, the spy
  program and the victim do not need to share the execution core of
  the CPU. The attack is not limited to a traditional OS and can be
  used in a virtualised environment, where it can attack programs
  executing in a different VM.

I general the use of private keys on multi-user machines is imminent
dangerous due to a variety of possibly attacks.  Example for such
attacks are locally exploitable vulnerabilities and all kind of side
channel attacks which can't be mitigated by the operating system.  Thus
the best advise is to use a private key only on a fully trusted machine;
i.e. a machine with full control over the software which may run on it.

However, it is common to put private keys on servers for example to
process encrypted mail.  If the server hardware is shared with other
users it is thus important to update GnuPG so to avoid the described
attack.  On a pure desktop machine, with only one user, mounting this
attack is probably not effective because there are easier ways to gain
access to the machine and thus the keys.  For best protection of private
keys, smartcards are often the best choice.


Getting the Software


First of all, decide whether you really need GnuPG version 1.4.x - most
users are better off with the modern GnuPG 2.0.x version.  Then follow
the instructions found at http://www.gnupg.org/download/ or read on:

GnuPG 1.4.14 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or
direct from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/ .  The list of mirrors can be
found at http://www.gnupg.org/mirrors.html .  Note, that GnuPG is not
available at ftp.gnu.org.

On the mirrors you should find the following files in the *gnupg*
directory:

  gnupg-1.4.14.tar.bz2 (3601k)
  gnupg-1.4.14.tar.bz2.sig

  GnuPG source compressed using BZIP2 and OpenPGP signature.

  gnupg-1.4.14.tar.gz (4967k)
  gnupg-1.4.14.tar.gz.sig

  GnuPG source compressed using GZIP and OpenPGP signature.

  gnupg-1.4.13-1.4.14.diff.bz2 (14k)

  A patch file to upgrade a 1.4.13 GnuPG source tree.  This patch
  does not include updates of the language files.

Select one of them. To shorten the download time, you probably want to
get the BZIP2 compressed file.  Please try another mirror if exceptional
your mirror is not yet up to date.

In the *binary* directory, you should find these files:

  gnupg-w32cli-1.4.14.exe (1567k)
  gnupg-w32cli-1.4.14.exe.sig

  GnuPG compiled for Microsoft Windows and OpenPGP signature.
  This is a command line only version; the source files are the
  same as given above.  Note, that this is a minimal installer and
  unless you are just in need for the gpg binary, you are better
  off using the full featured installer at http://www.gpg4win.org .
  

Checking the Integrity
==

In order to check that the version of GnuPG which you are going to
install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
the following ways:

 * If you already have a
