Echo: gnupg2: security update to 2.4.9-7+e3

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473203

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - gpgtar in GnuPG before 2.5.19 can allow file overwrite via crafted data in an archive. When extracting an
 untrusted archive with --directory (aka -C) into an existing directory containing a pre-existing symlink,
 gpgtar can follow that symlink and create or overwrite a file outside the selected extraction directory.
 The write is limited by the extraction user's filesystem permissions. An archive extracted into a fresh
 empty directory does not have this risk. (CVE-2026-105712)

Solution

Update the gnupg2 library and its related packages to version 2.4.9-7+e3 or later.
