Caldera Systems, Inc. Security Advisory

Subject: verification bug in gnupg
Advisory number: CSSA-2000-038.0
Issue date: 2000 October, 18
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

There is a bug in the signature verification of GNUpg,
the GNU replacement for PGP.

Normally, signature verification with gnupg works as
expected; gnupg properly detects when digitally signed
data has been tampered with.

However, these checks do not work properly if there are
several sections with inline signatures within a single
file. In this case, GNUpg does not always detect when some
of the signed portions have been modified, and incorrectly
claims that all signatures are valid.

2. Vulnerable Versions
