GnuPG: remotely controllable function pointer [CVE-2006-6235]
===============================================================
2006-12-04
Summary
=======
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo security team identified a severe and
exploitable bug in the processing of encrypted packets in GnuPG.
[ Please do not send private mail in response to this message. The
mailing list gnupg-devel is the best place to discuss this problem
(please subscribe first so you don't need moderator approval [1]). ]
Impact
======
Using malformed OpenPGP packets an attacker is able to modify and
dereference a function pointer in GnuPG. This is a remotely
exploitable bug and affects any use of GnuPG where an attacker can
control the data processed by GnuPG. It is not necessary limited to
encrypted data, also signed data may be affected.
Affected versions: All versions of GnuPG < 1.4.6
All versions of GnuPG-2 < 2.0.2
All beta versions of GnuPG-2 (1.9.0 .. 1.9.95)
Affected tools: gpg, gpgv, gpg2 and gpgv2.
Affected platforms: All.
gpg-agent, gpgsm as well as other tools are not affected.
A workaround is not known.
[...]
This is a patch against GnuPG 1.4.5. Change the directory to g10/ and
apply this patch.

* encr-data.c: Allocate DFX context on the heap and not on the
stack. Changes at several places. Fixes CVE-2006-6235.
