[slackware-security]  gnupg (SSA:2018-170-01)

New gnupg packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1,
14.2, and -current to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.23-i586-1_slack14.2.txz:  Upgraded.
  Sanitize the diagnostic output of the original file name in verbose mode.
  By using a made up file name in the message it was possible to fake status
  messages. Using this technique it was for example possible to fake the
  verification status of a signed mail.
  For more information, see:
    https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-12020
  (* Security fix *)
