CVE-2013-4351

GnuPG 1.4.x, y 2.1.x trata un subpaquete de flags clave con todos los bits a 0 (sin uso permitido) como si tuviera todos los bits establecidos (todo uso permitido) lo que permitiría a atacantes remotos evadir mecanismos de protección criptográfica intencionada mediante el aprovechamiento de la subclave.

The GNU Privacy Guard is a tool for encrypting data and creating digital signatures, compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard and the S/MIME standard. A denial of service flaw was found in the way GnuPG parsed certain compressed OpenPGP packets. An attacker could use this flaw to send specially crafted input data to GnuPG, making GnuPG enter an infinite loop when parsing data. It was found that importing a corrupted public key into a GnuPG keyring database corrupted that keyring. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a local user into importing a specially crafted public key into their keyring database, causing the keyring to be corrupted and preventing its further use.
