Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3675-3
June 18, 2018

gnupg vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

– Ubuntu 12.04 ESM

Summary:

GnuPG could be made to incorrectly interpret the status of the
cryptographic operation if it received specially crafted file.

Software Description:
– gnupg: GNU privacy guard – a free PGP replacement

Details:

USN-3675-1 fixed a vulnerability in GnuPG. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

Marcus Brinkmann discovered that during decryption or verification,
GnuPG did not properly filter out terminal sequences when reporting
the original filename. An attacker could use this to specially craft a
file that would cause an application parsing GnuPG output to
incorrectly interpret the status of the cryptographic operation
reported by GnuPG. (CVE-2018-12020)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.04 ESM:
gnupg                           1.4.11-3ubuntu2.11

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.
