CVE-2015-1606: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The keyring DB in GnuPG before 2.1.2 does not properly handle invalid packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and use-after-free) via a crafted keyring file.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 7.0 only; version 8.0 only
• Gnupg Gnupg: before 2.1.2 (fixed in 2.1.2)
