CVE-2003-0255 |
Details
Updated gnupg packages are now available which correct a bug in the GnuPG
key validation functions.
The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is a utility for encrypting data and
creating digital signatures.
When evaluating trust values for the UIDs assigned to a given key,
GnuPG versions earlier than 1.2.2 would incorrectly associate the trust
value of the UID having the highest trust value with every UID assigned to
this key. This would prevent an expected warning message from being generated.
All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which include an
update to GnuPG 1.0.7 containing patches from the GnuPG
development team to correct this issue.
Solution
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
