Vulnerability: Key Flags Subpacket Bypass in GnuPG

CVE-2013-4351 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:N

GnuPG 1.4.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x treats a key flags subpacket with all bits cleared (no usage permitted) as if it has all bits set (all usage permitted), which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging the subkey.
