Fix for CVE-2022-34903 (#2103242)

Summary

GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can

be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes

an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed

OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440 and the S/MIME

standard as described by several RFCs.

GnuPG 2.0 is a newer version of GnuPG with additional support for

S/MIME. It has a different design philosophy that splits

functionality up into several modules. The S/MIME and smartcard functionality

is provided by the gnupg2-smime package.
