medium Nessus Plugin ID 29450

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 10 host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

When printing a text stream with a GPG signature it was possible for an attacker to create a stream with 'unsigned text, signed text' where both unsigned and signed text would be shown without distinction which one was signed and which part wasn't.
