What did you do?

Try to use openpgp.ReadEntity on a keyring containing V3 signatures (for instance http://keyserver.mattrude.com/dump/current/sks-dump-0000.pgp).

package main

import (
	"io"
	"log"
	"os"

	"golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp"
	"golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp/packet"
)

func main() {
	pr := packet.NewReader(os.Stdin)
	for {
		_, err := openpgp.ReadEntity(pr)
		if err == io.EOF {
			break
		} else if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}
}

What did you expect to see?

No error.

What did you see instead?

openpgp: invalid data: subkey packet not followed by signature

This happens because of this line: https://github.com/golang/crypto/blob/master/openpgp/keys.go#L442

  • We should at least provide a sensible error message if it's a *packet.SignatureV3 ("V3 signatures not supported by Entity").
  • We could add a SignatureV3 field alongside Signature fields (just like MessageDetails)

What do you think?

Per the accepted #44226 proposal and due to lack of maintenance, the golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp package is now frozen and deprecated. No new changes will be accepted except for security fixes. The package will not be removed.

If this is a security issue, please email security@golang.org and we will assess it and provide a fix.

If you're looking for alternatives, consider the crypto/ed25519 package for simple signatures, golang.org/x/mod/sumdb/note for inline signatures, or filippo.io/age for encryption. You can read a summary of OpenPGP issues and alternatives here.

If you are required to interoperate with OpenPGP systems and need a maintained package, we suggest considering one of multiple community forks of golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp. We don't endorse any specific one.
