Hello,

Please unblock package libgcrypt20. This is bugfix only stable
release, taking care of two side-channel vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-0837
and CVE-2014-3591):
Noteworthy changes in version 1.6.3 (2015-02-27) [C20/A0/R3]
------------------------------------------------

 * Use ciphertext blinding for Elgamal decryption [CVE-2014-3591].
   See http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/radioexp/ for details.

 * Fixed data-dependent timing variations in modular exponentiation
   [related to CVE-2015-0837, Last-Level Cache Side-Channel Attacks
   are Practical].

 * Improved asm support for older toolchains.

Find attached the filtered debdiff (| filterdiff -x '*/build-aux/*' -x
'*/Makefile.in'  -x '*/configure' -x '*/gcrypt.info*' -x
'*/aclocal.m4') versus testing.

thanks, cu Andreas
