Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-03-19 20:01:17 UTC
In GnuPG before 2.5.5, if a user chooses to import a certificate with certain crafted subkey data that lacks a valid backsig or that has incorrect usage flags, the user loses the ability to verify signatures made from certain other signing keys, aka a "verification DoS."

Given the low severity of this CVE, I do not plan to fix this right now in Fedora nor in RHELs.
