Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-26 23:43:32 UTC 
From announcement:
  We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable GnuPG-1
  release: Version 1.4.9.  This is a maintenance release to fix a possible
  vulnerability introduced with 1.4.8.

This bug is also present in 2.0.8 and was fixed with 2.0.9. Both 1.4.8 and 2.0.8 are ~arch only, so please do not move them to stable. A bump for ~arch would be required.
