(CVE-2014-3591)
Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, and Eran Tromer discovered that GnuPG was
susceptible to an attack via physical side channels. A local attacker could
use this attack to possibly recover private keys. (CVE-2015-0837)
Hanno Böck discovered that GnuPG incorrectly handled certain malformed
keyrings. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a
malformed keyring, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause GnuPG to
