How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest gnupg2 to version 2.2.40-1.1+deb12u2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnupg2 package and not the gnupg2 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

In GnuPG before 2.4.9, armor_filter in g10/armor.c has two increments of an index variable where one is intended, leading to an out-of-bounds write for crafted input. (For ExtendedLTS, 2.2.51 and later are fixed versions.)
