Description

GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a C language library that allows to add support for cryptography to a program. It is designed to make access to public key crypto engines like GnuPG or GpgSM easier for applications. GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification and key management.

GPGME comes with language bindings for Common Lisp, C++, QT, Python2 and Python 3.

GPGME uses GnuPG and GpgSM as its backends to support OpenPGP and the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).

ikloecker added a project to T8187: Kleopatra: File encryption with invalid S/MIME certificate hangs indefinitely: vsd33.

I have added the fix as patch for VSD 3.3 because the commits that introduced this regression were also added as patches for VSD 3.3.

Fixed. For VSD 3.4 this will also be fixed if gpgme is updated.

ikloecker added a project to T8187: Kleopatra: File encryption with invalid S/MIME certificate hangs indefinitely: gpgme.

This is a bug in gpgme. gpgsm_assuan_simple_command only reads a single line before waiting for more data although there is a second line (ERR ...) ready to be read. gpgsm never sends more data because it has already sent its full answer. So gpgme waits forever.
