• Bug#1100894: ftp.debian.org: Accepts signatures from weak OpenPGP certi

    From Guillem Jover@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 20 09:40:01 2025

    Severity: serious

    Hi!

    While going over the SHA-1 issues in the keyrings [K], I then realized
    that for some of those cases that will not validate signatures with
    dupload, dpkg-source, or dscverify for example (and checking some
    specific cases from keyring.debian.org, in case there was a newer fixed certificate in there), that dak does not seem to be rejecting signatures
    from those certificates. Even though SHA-1 was intended to be disallowed
    for uploads since this was announced some time ago [A].

    [K] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/03/msg00477.html
    [A] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/02/msg00007.html

    I think the main reason is that the gpg verification invocations are not
    done with something like «--weak-digest SHA1 --weak-digest RIPEMD160».

    I have set the severity to serious as this seems like a security issue,
    but of course feel free to lower it if you disagree.

    Thanks,
    Guillem
