AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SlackRoll versions prior to 8

Description The issue allows remote Slackware mirror sites or man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly install Trojan horse packages via malformed gpg signatures. This occurs because SlackRoll before version 8 accepts gpg exit codes other than 0 and 1 as evidence of a valid signature.

Recommendations For versions prior to 8, update to version 8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of gpg signatures until a patch is available.
