CVE-2019-14855

Published: 20 March 2020

A flaw was found in the way certificate signatures could be forged using collisions found in the SHA-1 algorithm. An attacker could use this weakness to create forged certificate signatures. This issue affects GnuPG versions before 2.2.18.

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
in master, gnupg disables SHA-1 signatures completely. In the
2.2 branch, it disables SHA-1 signatures after a certain date
only.

As of 2022-03-22 there is no upstream patch available
for gnupg 1.4 series. Backporting from 2.2 would be
too risky.
