Official Description
The OpenPGP PGP standard allows an attacker to determine the private signature key via a cryptanalytic attack in which the attacker alters the encrypted private key file and captures a single message signed with the signature key.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2001-0381 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
