Subject: [SECURITY] New version of gnupg installed
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman November 11, 2000
Package: gnupg
Debian-specific: no
The version of gnupg that was distributed in Debian GNU/Linux
2.2 had a logic error in the code that checks for valid signatures
which could cause false positive results: Jim Small discovered that
if the input contained multiple signed sections the exit-code gnupg
returned was only valid for the last section, so improperly signed
other sections were not noticed.
This has been fixed in version 1.0.4-1 and we recommend that you
upgrade your gnupg package to that version. Please note that this
version of gnupg includes the RSA code directly instead of relying
on the gpg-rsa package. This means that the “load-extension rsa”
command in ~/.gnupg/options is no longer needed and must be
removed: gnupg will not work correctly if it tries to load an
extension that is not present.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc architectures.
