EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : gnupg2 (EulerOS-SA-2020-1153)

high Nessus Plugin ID 133987

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the gnupg2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - Interaction between the sks-keyserver code through 1.2.0 of the SKS keyserver network, and GnuPG through 2.2.16, makes it risky to have a GnuPG keyserver configuration line referring to a host on the SKS keyserver network. Retrieving data from this network may cause a persistent denial of service, because of a Certificate Spamming Attack.(CVE-2019-13050)

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

Solution

Update the affected gnupg2 package.
