==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3675-3
June 18, 2018
gnupg vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 12.04 ESM
Summary:
GnuPG could be made to incorrectly interpret the status of the
cryptographic operation if it received specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- gnupg: GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement
Details:
USN-3675-1 fixed a vulnerability in GnuPG. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Marcus Brinkmann discovered that during decryption or verification,
GnuPG did not properly filter out terminal sequences when reporting
the original filename. An attacker could use this to specially craft a
file that would cause an application parsing GnuPG output to
incorrectly interpret the status of the cryptographic operation
reported by GnuPG. (CVE-2018-12020)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 12.04 ESM:
gnupg 1.4.11-3ubuntu2.11
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.

JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious
website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web
browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service
attacks, and arbitrary code execution.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use WebKitGTK+, such as Epiphany, to make all the necessary changes.
