===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-252-1 February 17, 2006
gnupg vulnerability
CVE-2006-0455
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

gnupg

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1.2.4-4ubuntu2.2 (for ubuntu 4.10), 1.2.5-3ubuntu5.2 (for
Ubuntu 5.04), or 1.4.1-1ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a
standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Tavis Ormandy discovered a potential weakness in the signature
verification of gnupg. gpgv and gpg --verify returned a successful
exit code even if the checked file did not have any signature at all.
The recommended way of checking the result is to evaluate the status
messages, but some third party applications might just check the exit
code for determining whether or not a signature is valid. These
applications could be tricked into erroneously reporting a valid
signature.

Please note that this does not affect the Ubuntu package signature
checks.
