Summary

Ubuntu Update for Linux kernel vulnerabilities USN-432-2

Insight

Insight

USN-432-1 fixed a vulnerability in GnuPG. This update provides the corresponding updates for GnuPG2 and the GPGME library. Original advisory details: 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.
