How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 rust-sequoia-sq to version 0:1.4.0.1-2.el10_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:76737.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-sequoia-sq package and not the rust-sequoia-sq package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in sequoia-openpgp. The library incorrectly infers key flags for older certificates when a key flags subpacket is missing, leading to a discrepancy in how key capabilities are viewed. This key flag confusion allows an attacker to bypass the back-signature check. Consequently, an attacker can illegitimately bind an arbitrary subkey to their own certificate and forge signatures, completely compromising cryptographic integrity.
