Hi, please remove us from the mailing list. We are not longer using GnuPG in our company.

While evaluating the "Get Your Hands Off My Laptop" [1] paper I missed to describe [2] a software combination which has not been fixed and is thus vulnerable to the attack described by the paper. If you are using a GnuPG version with a *Libgcrypt version < 1.6.0*, it is possible to mount the described side-channel attack on Elgamal encryption subkeys. To check whether you are using a vulnerable Libgcrypt version, enter gpg2 --version on the command line; the second line of the output gives the Libgcrypt version: gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.25 libgcrypt 1.5.3 In this example Libgcrypt is vulnerable. If you see 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 you are fine. GnuPG versions since 1.4.16 are not affected because they do not use Libgcrypt. The recommendation is to update any Libgcrypt version below 1.6.0 to at least the latest version from the 1.5 series which is 1.5.4. Updating to 1.6.1 is also possible but that requires to rebuild GnuPG. Libgcrypt 1.5.4 has been released yesterday [3]; for convenience I include the download instructions below. A CVE-id has not yet been assigned. Many thanks to Daniel Genkin for pointing out this problem. Shalom-Salam, Werner [1] http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/handsoff [2] http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2014q3/000349.html [3] http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2014q3/000351.html Download ======== Libgcrypt source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed at https://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html . On the primary server the source tarball and its digital signature are: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.bz2 (1478k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.bz2.sig That file is bzip2 compressed. A gzip compressed version is here: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.gz (1763k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.gz.sig Alternativley you may upgrade using this patch file: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.3-1.5.4.diff.bz2 (17k) In order to check that the version of Libgcrypt you are going to build is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of the following ways: * Check the supplied OpenPGP signature. For example to check the signature of the file libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.bz2.sig This checks whether the signature file matches the source file. You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and made by the release signing key 4F25E3B6 which is certified by my well known key 1E42B367. To retrieve the keys you may use the command "gpg --fetch-key finger:w...@g10code.com". * If you are not able to use GnuPG, you have to verify the SHA-1 checksum: sha1sum libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the first line from the following list: bdf4b04a0d2aabc04ab3564fbe38fd094135aa7a libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.bz2 71e432e0ae8792076a40c6059667997250abbb9d libgcrypt-1.5.4.tar.gz 8876ae002751e6ec26c76e510d17fc3e0eccb3ed libgcrypt-1.5.3-1.5.4.diff.bz2 Watching out for possible security problems and working with researches to fix them takes a lot of time. g10 Code GmbH, a German company owned and headed by me, is bearing these costs.
