Updated gnupg packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.2 and 7.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386

3. Problem description:

A problem has been found in GnuPG versions (up to and including 1.0.3). 
Due to this problem, GnuPG may report files which have been signed with
multiple keys (one or more of which may be incorrect) to be valid even if
one of the signatures is invalid.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.
