The keyring DB in GnuPG before 2.1.2 does not properly handle invalid packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and use-after-free) via a crafted keyring file.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - GnuPG: Unenforced configuration allows for apparently valid certifications actually signed by signing     subkeys (CVE-2018-9234)

  - Libgcrypt before 1.6.3 and GnuPG before 1.4.19 does not implement ciphertext blinding for Elgamal     decryption, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain the server's private key by determining     factors using crafted ciphertext and the fluctuations in the electromagnetic field during multiplication.
    (CVE-2014-3591)

  - The do_uncompress function in g10/compress.c in GnuPG 1.x before 1.4.17 and 2.x before 2.0.24 allows     context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed compressed packets,     as demonstrated by an a3 01 5b ff byte sequence. (CVE-2014-4617)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

According to the versions of the gnupg2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The keyring DB in GnuPG before 2.1.2 does not properly     handle invalid packets, which allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (invalid read and     use-after-free) via a crafted keyring     file.(CVE-2015-1606)

  - kbx/keybox-search.c in GnuPG before 1.4.19, 2.0.x     before 2.0.27, and 2.1.x before 2.1.2 does not properly     handle bitwise left-shifts, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read     operation) via a crafted keyring file, related to sign     extensions and 'memcpy with overlapping     ranges.'(CVE-2015-1607)

GnuPG was updated to fix two memory handling issues with potential security impact :

  - CVE-2015-1606: Invalid memory read using a garbled     keyring (bsc#918089)

  - CVE-2015-1607: memcpy with overlapping ranges     (bsc#918090)

It was reported that gnupg2 keyring DB code did not reject packets which don't belong into a keyring, which may lead to invalid read of sizeof (int).

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2554-1 advisory.

    Daniel Genkin, Lev Pachmanov, Itamar Pipman, and Eran Tromer discovered that GnuPG was susceptible to an     attack via physical side channels. A local attacker could use this attack to possibly recover private     keys. (CVE-2014-3591)

    Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, and Eran Tromer discovered that GnuPG was susceptible to an attack via physical     side channels. A local attacker could use this attack to possibly recover private keys. (CVE-2015-0837)

    Hanno Bck discovered that GnuPG incorrectly handled certain malformed keyrings. If a user or automated     system were tricked into opening a malformed keyring, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause     GnuPG to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1606,     CVE-2015-1607)

    In addition, this update improves GnuPG security by validating that the keys returned by keyservers match     those requested.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in GnuPG, the GNU Privacy Guard :

CVE-2014-3591

The Elgamal decryption routine was susceptible to a side-channel attack discovered by researchers of Tel Aviv University. Ciphertext blinding was enabled to counteract it. Note that this may have a quite noticeable impact on Elgamal decryption performance.

CVE-2015-0837

The modular exponentiation routine mpi_powm() was susceptible to a side-channel attack caused by data-dependent timing variations when accessing its internal pre-computed table.

CVE-2015-1606

The keyring parsing code did not properly reject certain packet types not belonging in a keyring, which caused an access to memory already freed. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted keyring files.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), those problems have been fixed in version 1.4.10-4+squeeze7.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.12-7+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg packages.
