Description Ville Skyttä 2006-12-07 18:16:46 UTC
http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2006-6235

"A "stack overwrite" vulnerability in GnuPG (gpg) before 1.2.1 allows attackers
to execute arbitrary code via crafted OpenPGP packets that cause GnuPG to
dereference a function pointer from deallocated stack memory."

FC6+ seem to be taken care of already, FC-[345] not yet.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2006-12-07 18:25:37 UTC
Right FC-6+ build pushed yesterday already.

- CVE-2006-6235 (bug #218821)

Older releases don't include the gpg2 (and friends) binaries, so they aren't
(shouldn't!) be affected by this.

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2006-12-07 20:04:28 UTC
Seems so indeed.
