Subject: [Announce] GnuPG 2.2.27 released
Message-ID: <874kjnjm12.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de>
Hello!
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new GnuPG release:
version 2.2.27. This is a maintenance release fixing two recently
introduced bugs.
What is GnuPG
=============
The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG, GPG) is a complete and free implementation
of the OpenPGP and S/MIME standards.
GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign data and communication, features a
versatile key management system as well as access modules for public key
directories. GnuPG itself is a command line tool with features for easy
integration with other applications. The separate library GPGME provides
a uniform API to use the GnuPG engine by software written in common
programming languages. A wealth of frontend applications and libraries
making use of GnuPG are available. As an universal crypto engine GnuPG
provides support for S/MIME and Secure Shell in addition to OpenPGP.
GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It can
be freely used, modified and distributed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.27 (2021-01-11)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg: Fix regression in 2.2.24 for gnupg_remove function under
Windows. [#5230]
* gpgconf: Fix case with neither local nor global gpg.conf. [9f37d3e6f3]
* gpgconf: Fix description of two new options. [#5221]
* Build Windows installer without timestamps. Note that the
Authenticode signatures still carry a timestamp.
Release-info: https://dev.gnupg.org/T5234
Getting the Software
====================
Please follow the instructions found at or
read on:
GnuPG 2.2.27 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or
direct from its primary FTP server. The list of mirrors can be found at
. Note that GnuPG is not
available at ftp.gnu.org.
The GnuPG source code compressed using BZIP2 and its OpenPGP signature
are available here:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2 (7023k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2.sig
An installer for Windows without any graphical frontend except for a
very minimal Pinentry tool is available here:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.27_20210111.exe (4252k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.27_20210111.exe.sig
The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same
directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix.
New versions of the GnuPG VS-Desktop(tm) and Gpg4win featuring this
version of GnuPG will be released shortly.
Checking the Integrity
======================
In order to check that the version of GnuPG which you are going to
install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
the following ways:
* If you already have a version of GnuPG installed, you can simply
verify the supplied signature. For example to verify the signature
of the file gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2 you would use this command:
gpg --verify gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2
This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
made by one or more of the release signing keys. Make sure that
this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint
against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by
checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys.
See the end of this mail for information on the signing keys.
* If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have
to verify the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix systems the command to do
this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum". Assuming you downloaded the
file gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the next line:
d928d4bd0808ffb8fe20d1161501401d5d389458 gnupg-2.2.27.tar.bz2
53aaa951be77b9f59fe0981291962be3e5a21314 gnupg-w32-2.2.27_20210111.tar.xz
9f2ff2ce36b6537f895ab3306527f105ff95df8d gnupg-w32-2.2.27_20210111.exe
Internationalization
====================
This version of GnuPG has support for 26 languages with Chinese
(traditional and simplified), Czech, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian being almost
completely translated.
Documentation and Support
=========================
If you used GnuPG in the past you should read the description of
changes and new features at doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt or online at
https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html
The file gnupg.info has the complete reference manual of the system.
Separate man pages are included as well but they miss some of the
details available only in thee manual. The manual is also available
online at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/
or can be downloaded as PDF at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg.pdf .
You may also want to search the GnuPG mailing list archives or ask on
the gnupg-users mailing list for advise on how to solve problems. Most
of the new features are around for several years and thus enough public
experience is available. https://wiki.gnupg.org has user contributed
information around GnuPG and relate software.
In case of build problems specific to this release please first check
https://dev.gnupg.org/T5234 for updated information.
Please consult the archive of the gnupg-users mailing list before
reporting a bug: https://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html.
We suggest to send bug reports for a new release to this list in favor
of filing a bug at https://bugs.gnupg.org. If you need commercial
support go to https://gnupg.com or https://gnupg.org/service.html.
If you are a developer and you need a certain feature for your project,
please do not hesitate to bring it to the gnupg-devel mailing list for
discussion.

https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.9.0.tar.gz.sig
In order to check that the version of Libgcrypt you downloaded is an
original and unmodified file please follow the instructions found at
https://gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html. In short, you may
use one of the following methods:
- Check the supplied OpenPGP signature. For example to check the
signature of the file libgcrypt-1.9.0.tar.bz2 you would use this
command:
gpg --verify libgcrypt-1.9.0.tar.bz2.sig libgcrypt-1.9.0.tar.bz2
This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
made by one or more of the release signing keys. Make sure that
this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint
against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by
checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys.
See the end of this mail for information on the signing keys.
- If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have
to verify the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix systems the command to do
this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum". Assuming you downloaded the
file libgcrypt-1.9.0.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum libgcrypt-1.9.0.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the first line from the
this list:
459383a8b6200673cfc31f7b265c4961c0850031 libgcrypt-1.9.0.tar.bz2

Message-ID: <87v9bgw4rb.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de>
Hi!
A severe bug was reported yesterday evening against Libgcrypt 1.9.0
which we released last week. A new version to fix this as weel as a
couple of build problems will be released today.
In the meantime please stop using 1.9.0.
It seems that Fedora 34 and Gentoo are already using 1.9.0 .
Salam-Shalom,

Subject: [Announce] [Security fix] Libgcrypt 1.9.1 relased
Message-ID: <87h7n0vvkd.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de>
Hello!
We have to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.9.1.
This version fixes a *critical security bug* in the recently released
version 1.9.0. If you are already using 1.9.0 please update immediately
to 1.9.1.
Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks.
It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any
implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of
applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt.
Impact and timeline
===================
Only one released version is affected:
- Libgcrypt 1.9.0 (released 2021-01-19)
All other versions are not affected.
On 2021-01-28 Tavis Ormandy contacted us to report a severe bug in 1.9.0
which he found while testing GnuPG:
There is a heap buffer overflow in libgcrypt due to an incorrect
assumption in the block buffer management code. Just decrypting some
data can overflow a heap buffer with attacker controlled data, no
verification or signature is validated before the vulnerability
occurs.
The bug was introduced during the the 1.9 development phase about two
years ago with commit e76617cbab018dd8f41fd6b4ec6740b5303f7e13 (Reduce
overhead on generic hash write function).
Exploiting this bug is simple and thus immediate action for 1.9.0 users
is required. A CVE-id has not yet been assigned. We track this bug at
https://dev.gnupg.org/T5275. The 1.9.0 tarballs on our FTP server have
been renamed so that scripts won't be able to get this version anymore.
Solution
========
If Libgcrypt versions 1.9.0 is in use please update immediately to
version 1.9.1.
If you are using the 1.8 LTS branch you are not affected. While you are
checking anyway please make sure that you have at least 1.8.5.
If you are using a development version build taken from our Git
repository you need to update as well. NB: The use of non-released
versions in a production environment is strongly discouraged.
There is yet no released GnuPG version hich requires Libgcrypt 1.9

Download
========
Source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed
at https://gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html. On the primary server
the source tarball and its digital signature are:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2.sig
or gzip compressed:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.gz
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.gz.sig
In order to check that the version of Libgcrypt you downloaded is an
original and unmodified file please follow the instructions found at
https://gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html. In short, you may
use one of the following methods:
- Check the supplied OpenPGP signature. For example to check the
signature of the file libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2 you would use this
command:
gpg --verify libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2.sig libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2
This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
made by one or more of the release signing keys. Make sure that
this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint
against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by
checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys.
See the end of this mail for information on the signing keys.
- If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have
to verify the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix systems the command to do
this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum". Assuming you downloaded the
file libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the first line from the
this list:
a15ce7355b028f28a33428eaa0147154861b29d4 libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.bz2
f4440ce7893c3cf12f633ad4d3f91c77110a3a40 libgcrypt-1.9.1.tar.gz
You should also verify that the checksums above are authentic by
matching them with copies of this announcement. Those copies can be
found at other mailing lists, web sites, and search engines.
