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

CWE-ID: CWE-320 - Key Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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.
