CVE-2007-1269: GNU Gnumail

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 2.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

GNUMail 1.1.2 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents GNUMail from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.

Affected products

• GNU Gnumail: up to and including 1.1.2
