when signing + encrpyting a file, and then canceling pinentry, an encrypted and unsigned file is produced
Reported by steve | June 16th, 2017 @ 03:57 PM | in 0.8 (closed)
Tim Wilson-Brown (teor) reported this. Copying his description. He's using a Yubikey, but the issue is reproducing using gpg 2.1.21 in macOS 10.12.6b3 (no yubikey).
When I encrypt and sign a message using GPG Services, using a
Yubikey,
it's easy to accidentally generate an unsigned, encrypted file
without
any UI feedback.
Steps to reproduce:
Using a Yubikey (I assume any key that requires a PIN has the
same
issue, but I haven't checked).
-
Encrypt a file, so the encryption PIN has been entered already.
-
Select a file in the finder
-
Select Services -> OpenPGP: Encrypt File
-
Select Sign and leave "Add To Recipients" selected
-
When the signing PIN entry dialog comes up, click Cancel
Expected Results:
No file is produced.
An error dialog pops up with the "PIN entry failed" message.
Actual Results:
An encrypted but unsigned file is produced.
The normal "encryption succeeded" dialog does not appear.
(This is quite subtle, and easy to miss.)
