Description
gnupg2 security update
GnuPG is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880 (also known as PGP). GnuPG enables encryption and signing of data and communication, and features a versatile key management system as well as access modules for public key directories.
Security Fix(es):
In GnuPG before 2.5.5, if a user chooses to import a certificate with certain crafted subkey data that lacks a valid backsig or that has incorrect usage flags, the user loses the ability to verify signatures made from certain other signing keys, aka a "verification DoS."(CVE-2025-30258)
