MDKSA-2006:228: gnupg Vulnerability Scan


Vulnerability Scan Summary
Check for the version of the gnupg package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:228 (gnupg).

A 'stack overwrite' vulnerability in GnuPG (gpg) allows attackers to
execute arbitrary code via crafted OpenPGP packets that cause GnuPG to
dereference a function pointer from deallocated stack memory.
Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
