CVE-2007-1269

Publication date 6 March 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

Description

GNUMail 1.1.2 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents GNUMail from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.
