CVE-2006-6169

Publication date 29 November 2006

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ask_outfile_name function in openfile.c for GnuPG (gpg) 1.4 and 2.0, when running interactively, might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via messages with "C-escape" expansions, which cause the make_printable_string function to return a longer string than expected while constructing a prompt.
