Debian DLA-1773-1 : signing-party security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 124463

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An unsafe shell call enabling shell injection via a user ID was corrected in gpg-key2ps, a tool to generate a PostScript file with OpenPGP key fingerprint slips.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.10-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your signing-party packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected signing-party package.
