  <description>
    <p>A vulnerability in the implementation of ElGamal decryption procedures
      of Libgcrypt leaks information to various side-channels.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A physical side-channel attack allows a remote attacker to fully extract
      decryption keys during the decryption of a chosen ciphertext.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Libgcrypt users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.5.4"
    </code>
