+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #183484 +++ +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #181822 +++ The Gentoo project identified a security related bug in GnuPG. When using any current version of GnuPG for unattended signature verification (e.g. by scripts and mail programs), false positive signature verification of detached signatures may occur. This is primarily an issue since gpg return 0 on what should be a failure. This will break automated scripts. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gnupg-devel&m=113999098729114&w=2 A reproducer for RHEL can be found here: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2006q1/000211.html (The Background section near the bottom) This issue also affects RHEL2.1 and RHEL3
