+ <title>GnuPG: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ GnuPG is vulnerable to a buffer overflow and an erroneous function pointer
+ dereference that can result in the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">gnupg</product>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-crypt/gnupg" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.4.6</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.4.6</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The GNU Privacy Guard, GnuPG, is a free replacement for the PGP suite
+ of cryptographic software.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Hugh Warrington has reported a boundary error in GnuPG, in the
+ "ask_outfile_name()" function from openfile.c: the
+ make_printable_string() function could return a string longer than
+ expected. Additionally, Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Security Team
+ reported a design error in which a function pointer can be incorrectly
+ dereferenced.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to interactively use GnuPG on a
+ crafted file and trigger the boundary error, which will result in a
+ buffer overflow. They could also entice a user to process a signed or
+ encrypted file with gpg or gpgv, possibly called through another
+ application like a mail client, to trigger the dereference error. Both
+ of these vulnerabilities would result in the execution of arbitrary
+ code with the permissions of the user running GnuPG. gpg-agent, gpgsm
+ and other tools are not affected.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GnuPG users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;=app-crypt/gnupg-1.4*&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
