GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200307-06
- - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : gnupg
SUMMARY : gpg setgid
DATE : 2003-07-19 14:27 UTC
EXPLOIT : local
VERSIONS AFFECTED : <gnupg-1.2.2-r1

- - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

gpg needs to be setuid to make use of protected memory space, however the
setgid bit allowed gpg user to overwrite goup root writable files and is
therefor unnecessary.

SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
app-crypt/gnupg upgrade to gnupg-1.2.2-r1 as follows

emerge sync
emerge gnupg
emerge clean
