Package	:	gnupg
Vulnerability	:	cryptographic weakness
Problem-Type	:	local
Debian-specific	:	no
CVE Ids	:	CAN-2003-0971

Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates
and uses ElGamal keys for signing. This is a significant security
failure which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys
used for signing.

This update disables the use of this type of key.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has
been fixed in version 1.0.6-4woody1.

For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.4-1.

We recommend that you update your gnupg package.

Debian Security Advisory DSA 430-1	security@debian.org

Package	:	trr19
Vulnerability	:	missing privilege release
Problem-Type	:	local
Debian-specific	:	no
CVE ID	:	CAN-2004-0047

Steve Kemp discovered a problem in trr19, a type trainer
application for GNU Emacs, which is written as a pair of setgid()
binaries and wrapper programs which execute commands for GNU Emacs.
However, the binaries don’t drop privileges before executing a
command, allowing an attacker to gain access to the local group
games.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.0beta5-15woody1. The mipsel binary will be added
later.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will fixed
soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your trr19 package.
