Descriptions

A "stack overwrite" vulnerability in GnuPG (gpg) 1.x before 1.4.6, 2.x before 2.0.2, and 1.9.0 through 1.9.95 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted OpenPGP packets that cause GnuPG to dereference a function pointer from deallocated stack memory.

Una vulnerabilidad de "escritura en pila" en GnuPG (gpg) 1.x anterior a la 1.4.6, 2.x anterior a la 2.0.2 y 1.9.0 hasta la 1.9.95 permite a atacantes ejecutar código de su elección mediante paquetes OpenPGP artesanales que provocan que GnuPG haga referencia a un puntero a función que está en memoria (en la pila) que ya ha sido liberada.

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GNU privacy, a free PGP replacement, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. Werner Koch discovered that a buffer overflow in a sanitizing function may lead to execution of arbitrary code when running gnupg interactively. Tavis Ormandy discovered that parsing a carefully crafted OpenPGP packet may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, as a function pointer of an internal structure may be controlled through the decryption routines.
