Subject Summary: GNU Privacy Guard
Subject Home: http://www.gnupg.org/
Subject Versions: * <= 1.4.3
Vulnerability Id: CVE-2006-3082
Vulnerability Scope: global (not OpenPKG specific)
Attack Feasibility: run-time
Attack Vector: local system
Attack Impact: denial of service
Description:
According to a vendor security release note [0], a memory allocation
attack possibility exists in the GnuPG [1] cryptography tool, version
1.4.3 and earlier. The problem allows remote attackers to cause a
Denial of Service (DoS) (GnuPG crashes) and possibly overwrite memory
via a message packet with a large length, which could lead to an
integer overflow, as demonstrated using the "--no-armor" option.
