The read_binary function in buffer.c in pgpdump, a PGP packet
visualizer, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of
service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via crafted input. This was
assigned CVE-2016-4021.

Also, the read_radix64 function the might read data from beyond the
end of a buffer from crafted input.


For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
0.27-1+deb7u1.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems will be fixed in version
0.28-1+deb8u1, part of the upcoming point release

For Debian 9 "Stretch" and "Sid", these problems have been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your pgpdump packages.
