Debian Lenny DSA-2076-1 High: GnuPG 2 Code Execution Risk

It was discovered that GnuPG 2 uses a freed pointer when verify a
signature or importing a certificate with many Subject Alternate Names,
potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.9-3.1+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.14-2.

GnuPG 1 (in the gnupg package) is not affected by this problem.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg2 packages.
