Package: pgp4pine
Version: 1.76-1
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole


Pine accesses pgp4pine as a filter when selected for sending:
"Send message (filtered thru "pgp4pine" as "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>")?" Yes
([EMAIL PROTECTED] substituted in examples)

Next appears pgp4pine appears asking:
- -
You know all recipient keys. You may:
a) Sign and encrypt the message
...etc
- -

selecting "a" appears:
- -
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "First Last <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 6F4E7E16, created 2005-11-01
- -

entering wrong passphrase:
- -
gpg: Invalid passphrase; please try again ...

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "First Last <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 6F4E7E16, created 2005-11-01
- -

this repeats three times, but on third time with wrong password pgp4pine 
returns 
the message back to pine without an error so pine then sends it as "filtered" - 
but in 
this case as uncrypted mail to receiver. Error should be reported to pine same 
way as 
when aborting pgp4pine by pressing ctrl-c.
