Announce: severe flaws in the ElGamal algorithm of gnupg
If you are using an ElGamal key for encryption or signing with GnuPG, revoke it now.
There is a flaw in the key generation and usage algorithms that allows anyone to get your private key within seconds.
All ElGamal keys should be invalidated immediately.
