Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52975 |
Category: | Turbolinux Local Security Tests |
Title: | Turbolinux TLSA-2003-68 (gnupg) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to gnupg announced via advisory TLSA-2003-68. GnuPG is a complete and free replacement for PGP. Because it does not use IDEA or RSA it can be used without any restrictions. GnuPG is in compliance with the OpenPGP specification (RFC2440). Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates and uses ElGamal keys for signing. This is a significant security failure which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys used for signing. Note that this is a real world vulnerability which will reveal your private key within a few seconds. This vulnerability may allow attackers to determine the private key from a signature. Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=TLSA-2003-68 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0 |
