+ <title>GnuPG: Incorrect signature verification</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Applications relying on GnuPG to authenticate digital signatures may
+ incorrectly believe a signature has been verified.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-crypt/gnupg" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ GnuPG (The GNU Privacy Guard) is a free replacement for PGP
+ (Pretty Good Privacy). As GnuPG does not rely on any patented
+ algorithms, it can be used without any restrictions. gpgv is the
+ OpenPGP signature verification tool provided by the GnuPG system.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Auditing Team
+ discovered that automated systems relying on the return code of GnuPG
+ or gpgv to authenticate digital signatures may be misled by malformed
+ signatures. GnuPG documentation states that a return code of zero (0)
+ indicates success, however gpg and gpgv may also return zero if no
+ signature data was found in a detached signature file.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker may be able to bypass authentication in automated
+ systems relying on the return code of gpg or gpgv to authenticate
+ digital signatures.
+ </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 "&gt;=app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.2.1"</code>
