OpenPKG Security Advisory: OpenPKG-SA-2006.010 - gnupg

Detail
======

According to a vendor security release note [0], a memory allocation
attack possibility exists in the GnuPG [1] cryptography tool, version
1.4.3 and earlier. The problem allows remote attackers to cause a
Denial of Service (DoS) (GnuPG crashes) and possibly overwrite memory
via a message packet with a large length, which could lead to an
integer overflow, as demonstrated using the "--no-armor" option. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
CVE-2006-3082 [2] to the problem.
