> 
> CRITICAL:
> Moderately critical

> 
> DESCRIPTION:
> A vulnerability has been reported in GnuPG, which potentially can be
> exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
> 
> The vulnerability is cause due to an input validation error within
> "parse-packet.c" when handling the length of a message packet. This
> can be exploited to cause gpg to consume large amount of memory or
> crash via an overly large packet length in a message packet. This can
> be further exploited to cause an integer overflow which leads to a
> possible memory corruption that crashes gpg.
> 
> Successful exploitation requires that the "--no-armor" option is
> used.
> 
> The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.4.3 and in
> development version 1.9.20. Prior versions may also be affected.
> 
> SOLUTION:
> The vulnerability has been fixed in the CVS repositories.
