Descriptions
The keyring DB in GnuPG before 2.1.2 does not properly handle invalid packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and use-after-free) via a crafted keyring file.
La base de datos de llavero en GnuPG versiones anteriores a la versión 2.1.2, no maneja apropiadamente los paquetes no válidos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura no válida y uso de la memoria previamente liberada) por medio de un archivo de llavero especialmente diseñado.
