FC-5's gnupg2 is not vulnerable, since it doesn't include the affected
gpg2/gpg2v binaries (closing -> NOTABUG)

And no, a FC-5 update is not planned (for now), since newer gnupg2 requires 
libgpg-error => 1.4, which isn't present in FC-5 (though admittedly, I haven't
tried lobbying the libgpg-error maintainer for an update for FC-5).
