NVD Description

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

In GnuPG before 2.5.17, a long signature packet length causes parse_signature to return success with sig->data[] set to a NULL value, leading to a denial of service (application crash).
