Package : gnupg1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-12020
Debian Bug : 901088
Marcus Brinkmann discovered that GnuGPG performed insufficient
sanitisation of file names displayed in status messages, which could be
abused to fake the verification status of a signed email.
Details can be found in the upstream advisory at
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2018q2/000425.html
For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.21-4+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg1 packages.
