Re: [tor-talk] Problems? Verifying signatures in Tor 4.0.4

Yes, the .asc file that Nicolas was talking about is the one an attacker
would distribute alongside a manipulated .tar.xz file. Your .asc file is
fine, so GnuPG sounds the alarm if someone messed with the archive.

An attacker, however, could easily fool GnuPG with a file inline-signed
by the Tor Browser Developers. Using, e.g., sha256sums.incrementals.txt
and the respective detached signature sha256sums.incrementals.txt.asc
(both available at https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/4.0.4/), an
attacker first creates a signed file with an arbitrary key:
> $ gpg2 --digest-algo SHA1 --compress-algo uncompressed       \
> >      --set-filename tor-browser-linux32-4.0.4_en-US.tar.xz \
> >      --output fake.asc --sign sha256sums.incrementals.txt

The newly created signature packet gets thrown away:
> $ eval $(gpg2 --list-packets fake.asc | grep ^# | grep " tag=2 " \
> >                                     | grep -o " off=[[:digit:]]* ")
> $ dd if=fake.asc of=tor-browser-linux32-4.0.4_en-US.tar.xz.asc \
> > bs=1 count=$off

And the signature of the Tor Browser Developers takes its place:
> $ gpg2 --output - --dearmor sha256sums.incrementals.txt.asc \
>        >> tor-browser-linux32-4.0.4_en-US.tar.xz.asc

GnuPG now won't even take a look at the .tar.xz archive when called with
that .asc file as its only argument, but still reports a good signature.
I've attached the file for you to try it out.

Specify both the detached signature and the archive you want to verify.
