Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 2.0.19-2
Severity: serious
Tags: security

Dear Maintainer,

gpg-agent could do prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0) to protect user
secrets from appearing in coredumps or being stolen using ptrace(), like
ssh-agent does.  Unfortunately it doesn't yet do this.

Please fix it.
