We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable GnuPG-1
release: Version 1.4.17. This release includes a *security fix* to stop
a possible DoS using garbled compressed data packets which can be used
to put gpg into an infinite loop.
The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication and
data storage. It is a complete and free replacement of PGP and can be
used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an
advanced key management facility, smartcard support and is compliant
with the OpenPGP Internet standard as described by RFC-4880. GnuPG is
distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPLv3+).
