Description
Interaction between the sks-keyserver code through 1.2.0 of the SKS
keyserver network, and GnuPG through 2.2.16, makes it risky to have a
GnuPG keyserver configuration line referring to a host on the SKS
keyserver network. Retrieving data from this network may cause a
persistent denial of service, because of a Certificate Spamming
Attack.
