-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 429-2 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman February 13th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. The update provided in DSA 459-1 disables the use of this type of key, using an interim fix. This update, DSA 459-2, implements a more correct and permanent fix provided by David Shaw. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.6-4woody3. We recommend that you update your gnupg package.
