Advisory:	RHSA-2000:131-02
Type:	Security Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2000-12-19
Last updated on:	2000-12-19
Affected Products:	Red Hat Linux 6.2 Red Hat Linux 7.0
OVAL:	N/A
CVEs (cve.mitre.org):	CVE-2001-0071 CVE-2001-0072

Details

Updated gnupg packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.x and 7.

When importing keys from public key servers, GnuPG will import private keys
(also known as secret keys) in addition to public keys. If this happens,
the user's web of trust becomes corrupted. Additionally, when used to check
detached signatures, if the data file being checked contained clearsigned
data, GnuPG would not warn the user if the detached signature was
incorrect.

Solution

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.
