Summary
In addition, this update hardens GnuPG's behaviour when treating
keyserver responses; GnuPG now filters keyserver responses to only
accepts those keyid's actually requested by the user.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.12-7+deb7u6.
For the testing (jessie) and unstable distribution (sid), this
problem has been fixed in version 1.4.18-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg packages.
