Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, and Eran Tromer discovered that GnuPG was susceptible to an adaptive chosen ciphertext attack via acoustic emanations. A local attacker could use this attack to possibly recover private keys.

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

Solution
