Package : libgcrypt11
CVE ID : CVE-2014-5270

Daniel Genkin, Itamar Pipman and Eran Tromer discovered that Elgamal
encryption subkeys in applications using the libgcrypt11 library, for
example GnuPG 2.x, could be leaked via a side-channel attack.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.0-5+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgcrypt11 packages.
