Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.12-7.1
Severity: normal
Tags: security

http://www.gnupg.org/download/ suggests that 1.4.14 is available from
upstream.  debian only has 1.4.12.

According to
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2012q4/000319.html,
1.4.13 contains the following changes:

    * Add support for the old cipher algorithm IDEA.

    * Minor bug fixes.

    * Small changes to better cope with future OpenPGP and GnuPG
      features.


and according to
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2013q3/000330.html
1.4.14 contains the following changes:


    * Mitigate the Yarom/Falkner flush+reload side-channel attack on
      RSA secret keys.  See <http://eprint.iacr.org/2013/448>.

    * Fixed IDEA for big-endian CPUs

    * Improved the diagnostics for failed keyserver lockups.

    * Minor bug and portability fixes.


I'm tagging this with "security" because of the security fix in 1.4.14.

Regards,
