Description

According to the version of the gnupg2 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

- 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)
