LinuxSecurity: “The gnupg port, versions prior to gnupg-1.0.6, contains a format
string vulnerability. If gnupg attempts to decrypt a file whose
filename does not end in ‘.gpg’, the filename is copied to the
prompt string, allowing a user-supplied format string. This may allow
a malicious user to cause arbitrary code to be executed as the user
running gnupg.”
