Package: acbuild Version: 0.4.0+dfsg-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Your package appears to contain commands which use a short gpg-key ID. These have recently been identified as potential security concerns, due to a chance that the wrong key can be imported in the case of a forced key-ID collision [1]. The affected file is: /acbuild-0.4.0/examples/mongodb/build-mongodb.sh [2] It appears that this is an example, and may not be executed as part of the debian package. This may require forwarding upstream. Please consider upgrading to a full key ID, for example, replace the command: gpg --keyserver <keyserver> --recv-keys <key_short_fingerprint> with gpg --keyserver <keyserver> --recv-keys <key_full_id> eg (not specific to your package): gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys 05C3E651 becomes: gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys 0x0D59D2B15144766A14D241C66BAF400B05C3E651 (Note the tail bytes are the same) This has previously been forwarded to the security team, who advised to report individual public bugs against each package - hence this bug.
