NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnome-keyring package and not the gnome-keyring package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNOME gnome-keyring 3.4.0 through 3.4.1, when gpg-cache-method is set to "idle" or "timeout," does not properly limit the amount of time a passphrase is cached, which allows attackers to have an unspecified impact via unknown attack vectors.
