From ${URL}: Impact of the security bug ========================== By using special crafted S/MIME messages or ECC based OpenPGP data, it is possible to create a buffer overflow. The bug is not easy to exploit because there only 80 possible values which can be used to overwrite memory. However, a denial of service is possible and someone may come up with other clever attacks. Thus this should be fix. Affected versions: All Libksba versions < 1.3.2 Background: Yesterday Hanno Böck found an invalid memory access in the 2.1 branch of GnuPG by conveying a malformed OID as part of an ECC key. It turned out that this bug has also been in libksba ever since and affects at least gpgsm and dirmngr. The code to convert an OID to its string representation has an obvious error of not considering an invalid encoding for arc-2. A first byte of 0x80 can be used to make a value of less then 80 and we then subtract 80 from it as required by the OID encoding rules. Due to the use of an unsigned integer this results in a pretty long value which won't fit anymore into the allocated buffer. The actual fix for lib Libksba is commit f715b9e.

Cleanup old non-stable. new version uploaded and the changes are trivial enough that upgrading should be trivial, but will wait a little bit before calling for stabilization. Marking B3 due to the specific nature of the attack despite this package being pulled in by default version of GnuPG.

CVE-2014-9087 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-9087): Integer underflow in the ksba_oid_to_str function in Libksba before 1.3.2, as used in GnuPG, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted OID in a (1) S/MIME message or (2) ECC based OpenPGP data, which triggers a buffer overflow.
