Id Description
2869 GnuPG ElGamal Encrypt+Sign Private Key Disclosure

GnuPG has a serious flaw that compromises any ElGamal key used for signing or encrypting material. When GnuPG creates ElGamal sign+encrypt keys (type 20), it does so in a cryptographically weak way. This can be exploited to compromise the private key.
