Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-247 - GnuPG 1.4.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x treats a key flags subpacket with all bits cleared as if it has all bits set, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging the subkey. Special crafted input data may be used to cause a denial of service against GPG. GPG can be forced to recursively parse certain parts of OpenPGP messages ad infinitum. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:247

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : gnupg
Date : October 10, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0, Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in gnupg:

GnuPG 1.4.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x treats a key flags subpacket with
all bits cleared (no usage permitted) as if it has all bits set
(all usage permitted), which might allow remote attackers to bypass
intended cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging the subkey
(CVE-2013-4351).

Special crafted input data may be used to cause a denial of service
against GPG. GPG can be forced to recursively parse certain parts of
OpenPGP messages ad infinitum (CVE-2013-4402).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
