CVE-2014-1927  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 python-gnupg to version 0.3.6-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-gnupg package and not the python-gnupg package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The shell_quote function in python-gnupg 0.3.5 does not properly quote strings, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in unspecified vectors, as demonstrated using "$(" command-substitution sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1928. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-7323.
