==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 25.04
- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-7412-1 introduced a regression in GnuPG.

Software Description:
- gnupg2: GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement

Details:

USN-7412-1 fixed vulnerabilities in GnuPG. The update introduced a
regression. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that GnuPG incorrectly handled importing keys with
 certain crafted subkey data. If a user or automated system were tricked
 into importing a specially crafted key, a remote attacker may prevent
 users from importing other keys in the future.
