The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200602-10 (GnuPG: Incorrect signature verification)
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Auditing Team discovered that automated systems relying on the return code of GnuPG or gpgv to authenticate digital signatures may be misled by malformed signatures. GnuPG documentation states that a return code of zero (0) indicates success, however gpg and gpgv may also return zero if no signature data was found in a detached signature file.
Impact :
An attacker may be able to bypass authentication in automated systems relying on the return code of gpg or gpgv to authenticate digital signatures.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
