Description: |
A bug in Kgpg's key generation affects all secret keys generated through
Kgpg's wizard. (Bug does not affect keys created in console/expert
mode). All keys created through the wizard have an empty passphrase, which
means that if someone has access to your computer and can read your secret
key, he/she can decrypt your files whitout the need of a passphrase. See
