Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GnuPG versions prior to 1.4.17 GnuPG versions prior to 2.0.24 GnuPG2 (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in the GnuPG package of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, which can lead to a disruption of protected information availability. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. Specifically, the do uncompress function in g10/compress.c allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed compressed packets.

For GnuPG2, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
