NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnupg2-smime package and not the gnupg2-smime package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

GnuPG (version 2.5.21) for Windows contains a vulnerability where default Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) inheritance on the C:\ProgramData directory allows members of the BUILTIN\Users group to create arbitrary subdirectories under this path. An attacker with low-privilege access can create the expected GnuPG configuration directory and inject malicious configuration files consumed by GnuPG components. This can result in code execution within the security context of the victim user.
