Vulnerability Scan Summary
Check for the version of the gnupg packages

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test


An updated GnuPG package that fixes a security issue is now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

GnuPG is a utility for encrypting data and creating digital signatures.

An integer overflow flaw was found in GnuPG. A possible hacker could create a
carefully crafted message packet with a large length that could cause GnuPG
to crash or possibly overwrite memory when opened. (CVE-2006-3082)

All users of GnuPG are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains a backported patch to correct this issue.
