Summary
Ubuntu Update for Linux kernel vulnerabilities USN-432-1
Insight
Insight
Gerardo Richarte from Core Security Technologies discovered that when gnupg is used without --status-fd, there is no way to distinguish initial unsigned messages from a following signed message. An attacker could inject an unsigned message, which could fool the user into thinking the message was entirely signed by the original sender.
