## Description

The integrity check feature in OpenPGP, when handling a message that was
encrypted using cipher feedback (CFB) mode, allows remote attackers to
recover part of the plaintext via a chosen-ciphertext attack when the first
2 bytes of a message block are known, and an oracle or other mechanism is
available to determine whether an integrity check failed.
