Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2006-867
2006-08-02
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 4
Name        : gnupg
Version     : 1.4.5
Release     : 1
Summary     : A GNU utility for secure communication and data storage.
Description :
GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and
creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management
capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet
standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented
algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses
only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update upgrades GnuPG to version 1.4.5 to correct
errors in the parsing of certain types of packets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tue Aug  1 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.4.5-1
- update to 1.4.5, fixing additional size overflows in packet parsing (#200904,
  CVE-2006-3746)
- temporarily disable curl support again
* Fri Jul 28 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.4.4.90-1
- update to 1.4.5rc1 to check for build problems, but mark it as 1.4.4.90
  to avoid looking "newer" than the eventual 1.4.5
- because we call aclocal, buildrequire gettext-devel to get AM_GNU_GETTEXT
* Thu Jul 20 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.4.4-7
- add BuildPrereq on curl-devel to get curl's ipv6 support (#198375)
* Wed Jul 12 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.4.4-6

  detection (#198612)
* Wed Jul 12 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating at redhat.com> - 1.4.4-5.1
- rebuild
* Wed Jul  5 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.4.4-5
- try again using per-platform buildprereq (jkeating)
* Wed Jul  5 2006 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.4.4-4
