Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ask_outfile_name function in openfile.c for GnuPG (gpg) 1.4 and 2.0, when running interactively, might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via messages with "C-escape" expansions, which cause the make_printable_string function to return a longer string than expected while constructing a prompt.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo en la función ask_outfile_name en el openfile.c para GnuPG (gpg) 1.4 y 2.0, cuando se está ejecutando interactivamente, podría permitir a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante mensajes con expansiones "C-escape", que provocan que la función make_printable_string devuelva una cadena más larga de lo esperado mientras construye un aviso.
