Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in GnuPG, which can potentially be exploited to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when importing keys with duplicated IDs. This can be exploited to cause a memory corruption when importing keys via --refresh-keys or --import.
Successful exploitation potentially allows execution of arbitrary code, but has not been proven yet.
The vulnerability is reported in version 1.4.8 and 2.0.8. Prior versions may also be affected.
