    https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-826

Description:
    Previous versions of the gnupg package contain a weakness that may
    enable an attacker to create a malformed message that causes gnupg
    to crash or execute arbitrary code provided by the attacker.  This
    weakness exists only in interactive mode; other applications which
    call gpg in batch mode are not susceptible.
