Debian Security Advisory DSA 429-2                     [email protected]

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package        : gnupg
Vulnerability  : cryptographic weakness
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0971

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.

The update provided in DSA 459-1 disables the use of this type of key,
using an interim fix.  This update, DSA 459-2, implements a more
correct and permanent fix provided by David Shaw.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 1.0.6-4woody3.

We recommend that you update your gnupg package.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
