CVE-2025-68972

A flaw was found in GnuPG. An adversary can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a signed message that includes a form feed character (\f) at the end of a plaintext line. This allows the adversary to append additional, unsigned text to the message while the signature verification still reports success. This issue leads to an integrity bypass, potentially enabling the spoofing of signed communications.

This vulnerability is rated Moderate for Red Hat products as it affects GnuPG, allowing an attacker to append unsigned text to a signed message while signature verification still reports success. This integrity bypass could lead to spoofing of signed communications, impacting the authenticity of signed data in Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments.
