Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7412-2
July 08, 2025

gnupg2 regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 25.04
- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-7412-1 introduced a regression in GnuPG.

Software Description:
- gnupg2: GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement

Details:

USN-7412-1 fixed vulnerabilities in GnuPG. The update introduced a
regression. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

  It was discovered that GnuPG incorrectly handled importing keys with
  certain crafted subkey data. If a user or automated system were tricked
  into importing a specially crafted key, a remote attacker may prevent
  users from importing other keys in the future.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 25.04
   gnupg                           2.4.4-2ubuntu23.1
   gnupg2                          2.4.4-2ubuntu23.1

   gpg                             2.4.4-2ubuntu17.3
