"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2013-679:01 advisory.

    GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and creating digital signatures. GnuPG has
    advanced key management capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard
    described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented algorithm, it is not compatible with any
    version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-6085
    The read_block function in g10/import.c in GnuPG 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 2.0.x through 2.0.19, when
    importing a key, allows remote attackers to corrupt the public keyring database or cause a denial of
    service (application crash) via a crafted length field of an OpenPGP packet.
     CVE-2013-4242
    GnuPG before 1.4.14, and Libgcrypt before 1.5.3 as used in GnuPG 2.0.x and possibly other products, allows
    local users to obtain private RSA keys via a cache side-channel attack involving the L3 cache, aka
    Flush+Reload.
     CVE-2013-4351
    GnuPG 1.4.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x treats a key flags subpacket with all bits cleared (no usage permitted) as
    if it has all bits set (all usage permitted), which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended
    cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging the subkey.
     CVE-2013-4402
    GnuPG 1.4.x before 1.4.15 and 2.0.x before 2.0.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (infinite recursion) via a crafted OpenPGP message.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
