1 Hi all, I found out via bugtraq mailing list this morning that gnupg-1.0.5 and
2 earlier have a vulnerability that will let someone gain unauthorized access. I
3 don't have a link for you because the archives haven't been updated on
4 securityfocus.com. You may upgrade via portage in about a half hour when the
5 rsync tree gets updated. The package you want is app-crypt/gnupg-1.0.6. I
6 still didn't add the SUID to the gpg binary, I figure I'll leave that up to
7 the installer. It'll still work, but will not be able to use secure memory
8 when run as a normal user.
