 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2013:001
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : gnupg
 Date    : January 2, 2013
 Affected: 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in gnupg:

 Versions of GnuPG <= 1.4.12 are vulnerable to memory access violations
 and public keyring database corruption when importing public keys
 that have been manipulated. An OpenPGP key can be fuzzed in such a
 way that gpg segfaults (or has other memory access violations) when
 importing the key (CVE-2012-6085).

 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
