==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10

Summary:
GnuPG and Libgcrypt could be made to expose sensitive information.
Software Description:
- gnupg: GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement

Details:
Yuval Yarom and Katrina Falkner discovered a timing-based information leak,
known as Flush+Reload, that could be used to trace execution in programs.
GnuPG and Libgcrypt followed different execution paths based on key-related
