Subject: CVE request: python-gnupg before 0.3.5 shell injection

Hi,

I was criticised in the past for making CVE requests without enough
information. This is another case where I have a hard time complying to
them.

python-gnupg 0.3.5 lists in the changelog:
"Added improved shell quoting to guard against shell injection."
Source: https://code.google.com/p/python-gnupg/

Sounds like a severe security issue, but further info is lacking.
python-gnupg has no public source code repository, so I can't link to
any commit. I could obviously download the last and current version,
diff them and try to find out. But that's quite a lot of work for a CVE
request.

Despite the lack of info, please assign CVE, as I think it's a severe
issue.

cu,
