DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in PGP Desktop, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the verification of
OpenPGP messages. This can be exploited to e.g. intercept and
manipulate signed OpenPGP messages, which will be displayed as fully
valid when the recipient right-clicks to decrypt and verify a .pgp
file.

The vulnerability is reported in PGP Desktop for Windows and OS X in
version 10.0.3 and prior and 10.1.0 (please see the vendor's advisory
for details).

SOLUTION:
Update to version 10.0.3SP2 or 10.1.0 SP1.
