high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404699

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - mainproc.c in GnuPG before 2.2.8 mishandles the original filename during decryption and verification
 actions, which allows remote attackers to spoof the output that GnuPG sends on file descriptor 2 to other
 programs that use the "--status-fd 2" option. For example, the OpenPGP data might represent an original
 filename that contains line feed characters in conjunction with GOODSIG or VALIDSIG status codes.
