2019-07-15gpg: drop import-clean from default keyserver import optionsdkg-fix-T4628Daniel Kahn Gillmor1-1/+1
* g10/gpg.c (main): drop IMPORT_CLEAN from the default opt.keyserver_options.import_options * doc/gpg.texi: reflect this change in the documentation Given that SELF_SIGS_ONLY is already set, it's not clear what additional benefit IMPORT_CLEAN provides. Furthermore, IMPORT_CLEAN means that receiving an OpenPGP certificate from a keyserver will potentially delete data that is otherwise held in the local keyring, which is surprising to users who expect retrieval from the keyservers to be purely additive. GnuPG-Bug-Id: 4628 Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <[email protected]>
2019-07-05gpg: With --auto-key-retrieve prefer WKD over keyservers.Werner Koch1-4/+20
* g10/mainproc.c (check_sig_and_print): Print a hint on how to make use of the preferred keyserver. Remove keyserver lookup just by the keyid. Try a WKD lookup before a keyserver lookup. -- The use of the the keyid for lookups does not make much sense anymore since for quite some time we do have the fingerprint as part of the signature. GnuPG-bug-id: 4595 Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>
2019-07-04gpg: Add "self-sigs-only" and "import-clean" to the keyserver options.Werner Koch1-0/+5
* g10/gpg.c (main): Change default. -- Due to the DoS attack on the keyeservers we do not anymore default to import key signatures. That makes the keyserver unsuable for getting keys for the WoT but it still allows to retriev keys - even if that takes long to download the large keyblocks. To revert to the old behavior add keyserver-optiions no-self-sigs-only,no-import-clean to gpg.conf. GnuPG-bug-id: 4607 Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>
2019-07-04gpg: New command --locate-external-key.Werner Koch1-4/+9
* g10/gpg.c (aLocateExtKeys): New. (opts): Add --locate-external-keys. (main): Implement that. * g10/getkey.c (get_pubkey_byname): Implement GET_PUBKEY_NO_LOCAL. (get_best_pubkey_byname): Add arg 'mode' and pass on to get_pubkey_byname. Change callers. * g10/keylist.c (public_key_list): Add arg 'no_local'. (locate_one): Ditto. Pass on to get_best_pubkey_byname. -- This new command is a shortcut for --auto-key-locate nodefault,clear,wkd,... --locate-key and uses the default or configured AKL list but does so without local.

2019-07-01gpg: New import and keyserver option "self-sigs-only"Werner Koch1-0/+8
* g10/options.h (IMPORT_SELF_SIGS_ONLY): New. * g10/import.c (parse_import_options): Add option "self-sigs-only". (read_block): Handle that option. -- This option is intended to help against importing keys with many bogus key-signatures. It has obvious drawbacks and is not a bullet-proof solution because a self-signature can also be faked and would be detected only later.

2019-05-27gpg: Allow deletion of subkeys with --delete-[secret-]key.Werner Koch1-2/+8
* common/userids.c (classify_user_id): Do not set the EXACT flag in the default case. * g10/export.c (exact_subkey_match_p): Make static, * g10/delkey.c (do_delete_key): Implement subkey only deleting. -- GnuPG-bug-id: 4457
2019-05-17gpg: Fix using --decrypt along with --use-embedded-filename.Werner Koch1-1/+2
* g10/options.h (opt): Add flags.dummy_outfile. * g10/decrypt.c (decrypt_message): Set this global flag instead of the fucntion local flag. * g10/plaintext.c (get_output_file): Ignore opt.output if that was used as a dummy option aslong with --use-embedded-filename. -- The problem here was that an explicit specified --decrypt, as meanwhile suggested, did not work with that dangerous --use-embedded-filename. In contrast it worked when gpg decrypted as a side-effect of parsing the data. GnuPG-bug-id: 4500 Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>
2019-05-17gpg: Improve the photo image viewer selection.Werner Koch1-9/+14
* g10/exec.c (w32_system): Add "!ShellExecute" special. * g10/photoid.c (get_default_photo_command): Use the new ShellExecute under Windows and fallbac to 'display' and 'xdg-open' in the Unix case. (show_photos): Flush stdout so that the output is shown before the image pops up. -- For Unix this basically syncs the code with what we have in gpg 1.4. Note that xdg-open may not be used when running as root which we support here. For Windows we now use ShellExecute as this seems to be preferred over "cmd /c start"; however this does not solve the actual problem we had in the bug report. To solve that problem we resort to a wait parameter which defaults to 400ms. This works on my Windows-10 virtualized test box. If we can figure out which simple viewers are commonly installed on Windows we should enhance this patch to test for them. GnuPG-bug-id: 4334 Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>

(tdbio_db_matches_options): Don't indicate a change in case TOFU is stored in an old trustdb file. -- This change allows to switch between a tofu and pgp or tofu+pgp trust model without an auto rebuild of the trustdb. This also requires that the tofu trust model is requested on the command line.
