A new gnupg vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-304-1 June 26, 2006
gnupg vulnerability
CVE-2006-3082
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.04:
gnupg 1.2.5-3ubuntu5.4
Ubuntu 5.10:
gnupg 1.4.1-1ubuntu1.3
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
gnupg 1.4.2.2-1ubuntu2.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
Evgeny Legerov discovered that GnuPG did not sufficiently check overly
large user ID packets. Specially crafted user IDs caused a buffer
overflow. By tricking an user or remote automated system into
processing a malicous GnuPG message, an attacker could exploit this to
crash GnuPG or possibly even execute arbitrary code.
