Bug description:
  The patch from http://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue1579 is critical and
  should be backported to 12.04; right now, it is not.

  This leaves 12.04 users of GPG2 vulnerable to MITM attacks on gpg2
  --recv-keys. See https://evil32.com/ for an example (the text that is
  striked out; the gpg2 package on 12.04 is still vulnerable).
