Gnupg incorrect malformed message verification

Tavis Ormandy discovered that it is still possible to trick gnupg into
incorrectly verifying a signed message.

The patch is here:

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2006-03-14 04:44:10 UTC 
From User-Agent: XML-RPC

gnupg-1.4.2.2-1 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
