Debian DLA-39-1 : gpgme1.0 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82186

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Tomas Trnka discovered a heap-based buffer overflow within the gpgsm status handler of GPGME, a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier for applications. An attacker could use this issue to cause an application using GPGME to crash (denial of service) or possibly to execute arbitrary code.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libgpgme11, and libgpgme11-dev packages.
