Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2006-867 Critical GnuPG Packet Parsing Issue

GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and

creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management

capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet

standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented

algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses

only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).

This update upgrades GnuPG to version 1.4.5 to correct

errors in the parsing of certain types of packets.

- update to 1.4.5, fixing additional size overflows in packet parsing (#200904,

CVE-2006-3746)

- temporarily disable curl support again

* Fri Jul 28 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4.90-1

- update to 1.4.5rc1 to check for build problems, but mark it as 1.4.4.90

to avoid looking "newer" than the eventual 1.4.5

- because we call aclocal, buildrequire gettext-devel to get AM_GNU_GETTEXT

* Thu Jul 20 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-7

- add BuildPrereq on curl-devel to get curl's ipv6 support (#198375)

* Wed Jul 12 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-6

- fix a cast in gpgkeys_hkp to avoid tripping stack smashing or buffer overflow

detection (#198612)

* Wed Jul 12 2006 Jesse Keating - 1.4.4-5.1

- rebuild

* Wed Jul 5 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-5

- try again using per-platform buildprereq (jkeating)

* Wed Jul 5 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai - 1.4.4-4

- buildprereq libusb-devel, so that we get CCID support back (#197450)
