CVE-2016-6313
Felix Dörre and Vladimir Klebanov from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology found a bug in the mixing functions of Libgcrypt's random number generator. An attacker who obtains 4640 bits from the RNG can trivially predict the next 160 bits of output.
A first analysis on the impact of this bug in GnuPG shows that existing RSA keys are not weakened. For DSA and Elgamal keys it is also unlikely that the private key can be predicted from other public information.
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.0-5 deb7u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your libgcrypt11 packages.
