Debian 9: DLA-2862-1 Critical: python-gnupg Security Issues

CVE-2018-12020

Marcus Brinkmann discovered that GnuPG before 2.2.8 improperly
handled certain command line parameters. A remote attacker
could use this to spoof the output of GnuPG and cause unsigned
e-mail to appear signed.

CVE-2019-6690

It was discovered that python-gnupg incorrectly handled the GPG
passphrase. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted
passphrase that would allow them to control the output of
encryption and decryption operations.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
0.3.9-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-gnupg packages.
