+ <p>Serge Mister and Robert Zuccherato reports that the OpenPGP
+ protocol is vulnerable to a cryptographic attack when using
+ symmetric encryption in an automated way.</p>
+ <p>David Shaw reports about the impact:</p>
+ <blockquote cite="http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2005q1/000191.html">
+ <p>This attack, while very significant from a cryptographic
+ point of view, is not generally effective in the real
+ world. To be specific, unless you have your OpenPGP
+ program set up as part of an automated system to accept
+ encrypted messages, decrypt them, and then provide a
+ response to the submitter, then this does not affect you
+ at all.</p>
