CVE-2006-6235: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2006-6235: A "stack overwrite" vulnerability in GnuPG (gpg) 1.x before 1.4.6, 2.x before 2.0.2, and 1.9.0 through 1.9....

A "stack overwrite" vulnerability in GnuPG (gpg) 1.x before 1.4.6, 2.x before 2.0.2, and 1.9.0 through 1.9.95 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted OpenPGP packets that cause GnuPG to dereference a function pointer from deallocated stack memory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

GnuPG versions from 2006 and earlier could be made to run attacker-controlled code when processing specially crafted OpenPGP packets. This matters mainly for legacy systems that still use old gpg builds in email, file-transfer, signing, or automation workflows. Exposure is most likely on unsupported or long-lived systems running vulnerable GnuPG versions and processing untrusted OpenPGP messages, keys, signatures, or encrypted files. The source bundle does not provide affected CPEs. Treat this as high priority only where old GnuPG remains in use. Modern patched environments should handle it as a legacy exposure verification item, not an active-crisis finding. Mitigation focus: Upgrade GnuPG to 1.4.6, 2.0.2, or later supported vendor packages.; Apply relevant distribution advisories from Ubuntu, Red Hat, Debian, SUSE, or Trustix.; Remove or isolate legacy gpg installations that cannot be upgraded..
