+L58 NullHandler?? see self._write_passphrase
+L61 there nifty check for p3k
+** def _copy_data(instream, outstream) :cleanup:
+ copies data from one stream to another, 1024 bytes at a time.
+*** L79: :bad_logic:
+ instream is apparently a file descriptor, but is not checked nor
+ encased in a try/except block.
+
+*** L78: :hanging_fd:bad_logic:
+ while True: loop, should be
+ : with open(instream) as instrm:
+*** L88: :bad_exception_handling:
+ : except:
+ should catch an IOError, or whatever specific error is raised for broken
+ pipes.
+** def _threaded_copy_data(instream, outstream):
+*** L99:
+ this just wraps self._copy_data in a thread
+** def _write_passphrase(stream, passphrase, encoding): :vuln:cleanup:
+*** L110: :writes_passphrase_to_disk:
+ logger writes passphrase into debug log. this should be patched.

+*** L494-495: :type_error:
+
+ #+BEGIN_SRC python

+ os.makedirs(self.gnupghome,0x1C0)
+ #+END_SRC

+ #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+ In [20]: os.makedirs?
+ Type: function
+ String Form:<function makedirs at 0x7f8ddeb6cc08>
+ File: /usr/lib/python2.7/os.py
+ Definition: os.makedirs(name, mode=511)
+ Docstring:
+ makedirs(path [, mode=0777])
+ Super-mkdir; create a leaf directory and all intermediate ones.
+ Works like mkdir, except that any intermediate path segment (not
+ just the rightmost) will be created if it does not exist. This is
+ recursive.
+
+ setting mode=0x1c0 is equivalent to mode=hex(0700), which
+ may cause bugs on some systems, see
+ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2044879
+
+ this could be do to the complete lack of input validation in
+ os.makedirs, and it's calling of the os.mkdir() built-in, which
+ may vary depending on the python compilation:
+ #+END_EXAMPLE

+** def _open_subprocess(self, args, passphrase=False) :vuln:
+*** L515: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ : cmd.extend(args)
+
+ cmd is a list of strings, eventually joined with cmd=' '.join(cmd), and
+ the args are unvalidated in this function. Then this concatenation of args
+ is fed directly into subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=PIPE,
+ stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE). THIS SHOULD BE PATCHED.
+
+** def _collect_output(self, process, result, writer=None, stdin=None)
+ sends stdout to self._read_data() and stderr to self._read_response()
+
+** def _handle_io(self, args, file, result, passphrase=None, binary=False) :vuln:cleanup:
+*** L601: :unvalidated_user_input:type_check_in_call:
+ : p = self._open_subprocess(args, passphrase is not None)
+
+ you shouldn't assign or type check in a function call
+
+** def sign(self, message, **kwargs) :cleanup:
+*** L617-619: :hanging_fd:
+ calls self._make_binary_stream(), which leaves the file descriptor for
+ the encoded message to be encrypted hanging between scopes.
+
+** def sign_file(self, file, keyid=None, passphrase=None, clearsign=True, detach=False, binary=False) :cleanup:
+*** L632-635: :bad_logic:
+ #+BEGIN_SRC python
+ if detach:
+ args.append("--detach-sign")
+ elif clearsign:
+ args.append("--clearsign")
+ #+END_SRC
+
+ the logic here allows that if a user erroneously specifies both options,
+ rather than doing what the system gnupg would do (that is, do --clearsign,
+ and ignore the --attach-sign), python-gnupg would ignore both.
+
+*** L626-641:
+ input 'args' into self._open_subprocess() is defined as static strings.
+
+** def verify(self, data): :cleanup:
+*** L668-670: :hanging_fd:
+ same hanging file descriptor problem as in self.sign()
+
+** def verify_file(self, file, data_filename=None) :vuln:cleanup:
+*** L683: :hanging_fd:
+ more potentially hanging file descriptors...
+*** L684: :hanging_fd:
+ oh look, another hanging file descriptor. imagine that.
+*** L690: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ : args.append('"%s"' % data_filename)
+ well, there's the exploit. see included POC script.
+
+** def import_keys(self, key_data) :vuln:
+*** L749: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ this function could potentially allow an attacker with a GPG exploit to
+ use it, because it passes key generation parameter directly into the
+ internal packet parsers of GPG. however, without a GPG exploit for one of
+ the GPG packet parsers (for explanation of GPG packets look into pgpdump),
+ this function alone is not exploitable.
+
+** def recieve_keys(self, keyserver, *keyids) :vuln:
+*** L770: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ : args.extend(keyids)
+
+** def export_keys(self, keyids, secret=False) :vuln:
+*** L795-796: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ args problem again. exploitable though parameter ``keyids``.
+
+** def list_keys(self, secret=False)
+*** L827:
+ args is static string.
+
+** def gen_key(self, input) :cleanup:
+*** L864:
+ args, passed to self._handle_io(), which in turn passes args directly to
+ Popen(), is set to a static string. this function is halfway okay, though
+ it really could be more careful with the ``input`` parameter.
+
+** def gen_key_input(self, **kwargs) :vuln:
+*** L981-983: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ this function could potentially allow an attacker with a GPG exploit to
+ use it, because it passes key generation parameter directly into the
+ internal packet parsers of GPG. however, without a GPG exploit for one of
+ the GPG packet parsers (for explanation of GPG packets look into pgpdump),
+ this function alone is not exploitable.
+
+** def encrypt_file(self, file, recipiencts, sign=None, ...) :vuln:
+*** L939: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ several of the inputs to this function are unvalidated, turned into
+ strings, and passed to Popen(). exploitable.
+
+** def encrypt(self, data, recipients, **kwargs): :vuln:
+*** L997: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ exploitable, passes kwargs to self.encrypt_file()
+
+** def decrypt(self, message **kwargs): :vuln:
+*** L1003: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ kwargs are passed to self.decrypt_file(), unvalidated, making this
+ function also exploitable
+
+** def decrypt_file(self, file, always_trust=False, passphrase=None, output=None) :vuln:
+*** L1013: :unvalidated_user_input:
+ unvalidated user input: this function is also exploitable
