Products: rPath Linux 1
Rating: Minor
Exposure Level Classification:
    Indirect Deterministic Weakness
Updated Versions:

    https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1111

Description:
    Previous versions of the gnupg package insufficiently distinguish
    signed and unsigned texts, so that programs which call gnupg to
    validate OpenPGP signatures may incorrectly consider a maliciously
    modified message to be signed in its entirety, improperly ignoring
    the presence of unsigned message parts.
