Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-02-16 11:32:05 UTC 
It was reported [1] that GnuPG2 keyring DB code did not reject packets which don't belong into a keyring, which may lead to invalid read of sizeof (int).
It was fixed by the below upstream commit:
http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=commit;h=f0f71a721ccd7ab9e40b8b6b028b59632c0cc648

Comment 3 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-02-24 06:29:21 UTC 
In order to exploit this flaw, one would need specially-crafted gpg keyring files. This would result in a OOB read condition and gpg2 binary would crash.
