[SOLVED] gnupg doesn't show the correct version on the signature

metrodorus · 03-21-2014, 07:29 AM

After the gnupg upgrade on the 21st of December the
version of gnupg shown on the PGP signature is
incorrect.

Before the upgrade it showed:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux)

After the upgrade it shows:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1

What's New
===========

* Fixed the RSA Key Extraction via Low-Bandwidth Acoustic
Cryptanalysis attack as described by Genkin, Shamir, and Tromer.
See <http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/acoustic/>. [CVE-2013-4576]

* Put only the major version number by default into armored output.

* Do not create a trustdb file if --trust-model=always is used.

* Print the keyid for key packets with --list-packets.

* Changed modular exponentiation algorithm to recover from a small
performance loss due to a change in 1.4.14.
