Buffer overflow in pks PGP public key web server before 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long search argument to the lookup capability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-0900 affects old pks PGP public key web servers before 0.9.5. A remote request with an overly long lookup search value can crash the service and may allow code execution. Business urgency depends on whether this obsolete key server is still exposed. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running pks PGP public key web server versions before 0.9.5, especially if reachable from the internet. Modern systems are unlikely to be affected unless they retain legacy PGP keyserver infrastructure. Prioritize quickly only if legacy pks keyserver software is still internet-facing. Otherwise, handle through legacy-system inventory and decommissioning. The main business risk is service disruption, with possible server compromise if the code-execution condition is real. Mitigation focus: Identify any pks PGP public key web server instances.; Upgrade pks to version 0.9.5 or later if still supported.; If upgrade is unavailable, retire or isolate the service..
