SUSE update for gpg2

1) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

EUVDB-ID: #VU64909

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34903

CWE-ID: CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in GnuPG, which allows signature spoofing via arbitrary injection into the status line. A remote attacker who controls the secret part of any signing-capable key or subkey in the victim's keyring, can take advantage of this flaw to provide a correctly-formed signature that some software, including gpgme, will accept to have validity and signer fingerprint chosen from the attacker.

Mitigation

Update the affected package gpg2 to the latest version.
