Summary

PGP Desktop 10.0.x before 10.0.3 SP2 and 10.1.0 before 10.1.0 SP1 does not properly implement the "Decrypt/Verify File via Right-Click" functionality for multi-packet OpenPGP messages that represent multi-message input, which allows remote attackers to spoof signed data by concatenating an additional message to the end of a legitimately signed message, related to a "piggy-back" or "unsigned data injection" issue.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
