Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory


Package name: gnupg
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:061
Date: May 22nd, 2003
Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1, Multi Network Firewall
8.2

Problem Description:

A bug was discovered in GnuPG versions 1.2.1 and earlier. When
gpg evaluates trust values for different UIDs assigned to a key, it
would incorrectly associate the trust value of the UID with the
highest trust value with every other UID assigned to that key. This
prevents a warning message from being given when attempting to
encrypt to an invalid UID, but due to the bug, is accepted as
valid.

Patches have been applied for version 1.0.7 and all users are
encouraged to upgrade.
