DSA-993-2 gnupg -- programming error

Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2006-0049  

Tavis Ormandy noticed that gnupg, the GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement, can be tricked to emit a "good signature" status message when a valid signature is included which does not belong to the data packet. This update basically adds fixed packages for woody whose version turned out to be vulnerable as well. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.6-4woody5. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.1-1.sarge3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.2.2-1. We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg package.
