Technical description

PGP Desktop 10.0.x before 10.0.3 SP2 and 10.1.0 before 10.1.0 SP1 does not properly implement the "Decrypt/Verify File via Right-Click" functionality for multi-packet OpenPGP messages that represent multi-message input, which allows remote attackers to spoof signed data by concatenating an additional message to the end of a legitimately signed message, related to a "piggy-back" or "unsigned data injection" issue.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from pgp. Update desktop_for_windows to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
