Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2007-1264. PoCs published by Gerardo Richarte.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages a weakness in KMail's handling of GnuPG signed messages to inject arbitrary content. It manipulates the PGP packet structure to insert content without invalidating the signature.

Description

Enigmail 0.94.2 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents Enigmail from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.
