Package: dirmngr
Version: 1.1.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch, security

At least dirmngr 1.1.0-1 has a defect that it can hang.
This can cause a denial of service for other users and applications,
as dirmngr is a system service serving several requests.

For example the KMail hung when trying to verify a signature
which has the certificate in the chain that is attached to the 
report which has all details:

https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1313
(dirmngr unresponsive when waiting for some http CRL connect() -> ping and 
other requests fail)

here is the patch rev 347 that fixes the issue:
http://cvs.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi?root=Dirmngr&view=rev


http://files.kolab.org/apt/releases/dists/lenny/unstable/source/
has the following files that already contain a fixed package
for Lenny:

dirmngr_1.1.0+r347-0kk1.diff.gz  19-May-2011 10:59
dirmngr_1.1.0+r347-0kk1.dsc  19-May-2011 10:59  
dirmngr_1.1.0+r347.orig.tar.gz

Best,
Bernhard
