Re: [Duplicity-talk] Stream Vulnerability

[Martin Pool]

It will be vulnerable if it reads from gpg through a pipe and processes data as it goes. It will not be vulnerable if it lets gpg complete writing its output into a temp file or buffer, before parsing any of it.

it's unclear to me how an attacker might use this vulnerability in case of duplicity. can you give an example?

generally duplicity has all flaws of gpg. volumes/files are created by piping them into a gpg process and using the resulting encrypted files.
