Package        : gnupg2
CVE ID         : CVE-2014-4617
Debian Bug     : 752498

Jean-Rene Reinhard, Olivier Levillain and Florian Maury reported that
GnuPG, the GNU Privacy Guard, did not properly parse certain garbled
compressed data packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to mount
a denial of service against GnuPG by triggering an infinite loop.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.19-2+deb7u2.

For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.24-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.24-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg2 packages.
