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 1.9.95 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted OpenPGP packets that cause GnuPG to dereference a function pointer from deallocated…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.86%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
