Debian DSA-3005-1 : gpgme1.0 - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 77202

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Tomas Trnka discovered a heap-based buffer overflow within the gpgsm status handler of GPGME, a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier for applications. An attacker could use this issue to cause an application using GPGME to crash (denial of service) or possibly to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the gpgme1.0 packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.0-1.4+deb7u1.
