Details

Heap-based buffer overflow in the askoutfilename function in openfile.c for GnuPG (gpg) 1.4 and 2.0, when running interactively, might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via messages with "C-escape" expansions, which cause the makeprintablestring function to return a longer string than expected while constructing a prompt.
