summary: Golang/crypto message forgery vulnerability
description: |-
A message-forgery issue was discovered in crypto/openpgp/clearsign/clearsign.go
in supplementary Go cryptography libraries 2019-03-25. According to the OpenPGP
Message Format specification in RFC 4880 chapter 7, a cleartext signed message
can contain one or more optional "Hash" Armor Headers. The "Hash" Armor Header
specifies the message digest algorithm(s) used for the signature. However, the
Go clearsign package ignores the value of this header, which allows an attacker
to spoof it. Consequently, an attacker can lead a victim to believe the
signature was generated using a different message digest algorithm than what was
actually used. Moreover, since the library skips Armor Header parsing in
general, an attacker can not only embed arbitrary Armor Headers, but also
prepend arbitrary text to cleartext messages without invalidating the
signatures.
