Package: php-mongodb
Version: 1.1.7-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Your package appears to contain commands which use a short gpg-key
ID. These have recently been identified as potential security concerns,
due to a chance that the wrong key can be imported in the case of a
forced key-ID collision [1].
The affected file is:
/mongodb-1.1.7/scripts/ubuntu/mongo-orchestration.sh [2]
This is likely not be directly used by the debian component of the package,
so this bug may require forwarding upstream.
Please consider upgrading to a full key ID, for example, replace the command:
gpg --keyserver <keyserver> --recv-keys <key_short_fingerprint>
with
gpg --keyserver <keyserver> --recv-keys <key_full_id>
eg (not specific to your package):
gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys 05C3E651
becomes:
gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys 0x0D59D2B15144766A14D241C66BAF400B05C3E651
(Note the tail bytes are the same)
This has previously been forwarded to the security team, who advised to
report individual public bugs against each package - hence this bug.
