The remote host is missing an update to gnupg
announced via advisory FEDORA-2006-867.
GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and
creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management
capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet
standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented
algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses
only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).
Update Information:
This update upgrades GnuPG to version 1.4.5 to correct
errors in the parsing of certain types of packets.
* Tue Aug 1 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.5-1
- update to 1.4.5, fixing additional size overflows in packet parsing (#200904,
CVE-2006-3746)
- temporarily disable curl support again
* Fri Jul 28 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4.90-1
- update to 1.4.5rc1 to check for build problems, but mark it as 1.4.4.90
to avoid looking newer than the eventual 1.4.5
- because we call aclocal, buildrequire gettext-devel to get AM_GNU_GETTEXT
* Thu Jul 20 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-7
- add BuildPrereq on curl-devel to get curl's ipv6 support (#198375)
* Wed Jul 12 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-6
- fix a cast in gpgkeys_hkp to avoid tripping stack smashing or buffer overflow
detection (#198612)
* Wed Jul 12 2006 Jesse Keating - 1.4.4-5.1
- rebuild
* Wed Jul 5 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-5
- try again using per-platform buildprereq (jkeating)
* Wed Jul 5 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-4
- buildprereq libusb-devel, so that we get CCID support back (#197450)
