Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9234)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to missing enforcement of a configuration in which key certification requires an offline master Certify key, which results in apparently valid certifications that occurred only with access to a signing subkey. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
