Summary
The remote host is missing an update to gnupg announced via advisory DSA 1266-1. Gerardo Richarte discovered that GnuPG, a free PGP replacement, provides insufficient user feedback if an OpenPGP message contains both unsigned and signed portions. Inserting text segments into an otherwise signed message could be exploited to forge the content of signed messages. This update prevents such attacks the old behaviour can still be activated by passing the --allow-multiple-messages option.
