gpg-interface: limit search for primary key fingerprint
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The VALIDSIG status line from GnuPG with --status-fd is documented to
have 9 required and 1 optional fields [1].  The final, and optional,
field is used to specify the fingerprint of the primary key that made
the signature in case it was made by a subkey.  However, this field is
only available for OpenPGP signatures; not for CMS/X.509.

If the VALIDSIG status line does not have the optional 10th field, the
current code will continue reading onto the next status line.  And this
is the case for non-OpenPGP signatures [1].

The consequence is that a subsequent status line may be considered as
the "primary key" for signatures that does not have an actual primary
key.

Limit the search of these 9 or 10 fields to the single line to avoid
this problem.  If the 10th field is missing, report that there is no
primary key fingerprint.

The documentation says:

    VALIDSIG <args>

    The args are:

    - <fingerprint_in_hex>
    - <sig_creation_date>
    - <sig-timestamp>
    - <expire-timestamp>
    - <sig-version>
    - <reserved>
    - <pubkey-algo>
    - <hash-algo>
    - <sig-class>
    - [ <primary-key-fpr> ]

    This status indicates that the signature is cryptographically
    valid. [...] PRIMARY-KEY-FPR is the fingerprint of the primary key
    or identical to the first argument.

    The primary-key-fpr parameter is used for OpenPGP and not available
    for CMS signatures.  [...]
