Debian DSA-3024-1 : gnupg - security update

low Nessus Plugin ID 77671

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Genkin, Pipman and Tromer discovered a side-channel attack on Elgamal encryption subkeys (CVE-2014-5270 ).

In addition, this update hardens GnuPG's behaviour when treating keyserver responses; GnuPG now filters keyserver responses to only accepts those keyid's actually requested by the user.

Solution

Upgrade the gnupg packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.12-7+deb7u6.
