- ABOUT THIS HOTFIX
-
- This Hotfix consists of a single compressed file
- (PGP_Hotfix0904_Win32.zip) which you can decompress using an
- extraction utility such as WinZip. The zip file contains three
- files: PGPhotfix.exe, PGPhotfix.exe.sig, and this Read Me file.
- You may verify the signature file from the PGP Security Software
- Release Key prior to installation of the hotfix.
-
- ______________________________
- ISSUES RESOLVED IN THIS HOTFIX
-
- 1) A vulnerability in PGP's display of key validity has been
- discovered that could allow an attacker to fool users into
- thinking that a valid signature was created by what is actually
- an invalid user ID. If the attacker can obtain a signature on
- their key from a trusted third party, they can then add a second
- user ID to their key which is unsigned. The attacker must then
- switch the unsigned false user ID to primary and convince the
- victim to place the key on their keyring. In such a case, some
- of the displays in PGP do not properly identify the false user
- ID as invalid because the second user ID is fully valid. Whenever
- PGP displays validity information on a per-user ID basis, the
- display is correct. Thus, attentive users who examine the user
- IDs of all public keys which they import to their keyrings will
- immediately notice this problem before it could have any impact.
-
- This issue has been corrected such that all key validity displays
- in PGP will properly mark the unsigned user ID as invalid.
-
- ______________________________
- INSTALLATING THE HOTFIX
-
- 1. Extract the files from PGP_Hotfix0904_Win32.zip
- into a folder.
-
- 2. Run the program PGPhotfix.exe. This will replace the existing
- PGPsdk.dll on your machine with a new version of this dll.
-
- 3. Reboot the machine.
-
- 4. You can verify that the hotfix was installed by looking
- for PGPsdk.dll in your Windows\System directory (for Windows
- 95/98/ME) or Winnt\System32 directory (for Windows NT/2000).
- Right-click on the file, PGPsdk.dll and choose "Properties".
- Click on the version tab. The Product version should be
- "2.0.5" if you are updated a 7.0.x product, or "2.1.1" if
- you are updating a 7.1 product.
-
- NOTE: Running the PGPhotfix.exe from within any extraction utility
- such as WinZip will not install the Hotfix. You should extract the
- Hotfix and then run PGPHotfix.exe
