CVE-2007-1269

GNUMail <= 1.1.2 - Message Forgery via Improper GnuPG Status Handling

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

GNUMail 1.1.2 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents GNUMail 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.
