Package(s):kgpg CVE #(s):
Created:November 11, 2002 Updated:November 13, 2002
Description: A bug in Kgpg's key generation affects all secret keys generated through Kgpg's wizard. (Bug does not affect keys created in console/expert mode). All keys created through the wizard have an empty passphrase, which means that if someone has access to your computer and can read your secret key, he/she can decrypt your files whitout the need of a passphrase. See the full report for details.
