NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream parcimonie package and not the parcimonie package as distributed by Ubuntu.

parcimonie before 0.8.1, when using a large keyring, sleeps for the same amount of time between fetches, which allows attackers to correlate key fetches via unspecified vectors.
