The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify replacing with the name of the file containing the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team " where is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal RPM package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a validsignature from This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and included at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: This email address is being protected from spambots.
