    <p>
    Evgeny Legerov discovered a vulnerability in GnuPG that when certain
    packets are handled an integer overflow may occur.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    By sending a specially crafted email to a user running an affected
    version of GnuPG, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary
    code with the permissions of the user running GnuPG.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All GnuPG users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "=app-crypt/gnupg-1.4*"</code>
