GnuPG does not detect injection of unsigned data

Description:

Werner Koch reports:

In the aftermath of the false positive signature verfication bug (announced 2006-02-15) more thorough testing of the fix has been done and another vulnerability has been detected. This new problem affects the use of *gpg* for verification of signatures which are _not_ detached signatures. The problem also affects verification of signatures embedded in encrypted messages; i.e. standard use of gpg for mails.
