Description

A flaw in GnuPG's gpgsm component improperly handles the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) format for AES-GCM. By accepting an authentication tag length of 4 bytes instead of the required 12 bytes, this vulnerability allows for a low-impact data integrity issue where the cryptographic validity of messages could be compromised.

Statement

A Low-impact flaw in GnuPG's gpgsm component accepts an incorrect AES-GCM authentication tag length in CMS messages. This compromises cryptographic data integrity, though confidentiality and availability are unaffected.
