Description

gpg: Protect against rogue keyservers sending secret keys.

* g10/options.h (IMPORT_NO_SECKEY): New.
* g10/keyserver.c (keyserver_spawn, keyserver_import_cert): Set new
flag.
* g10/import.c (import_secret_one): Deny import if flag is set.

By modifying a keyserver or a DNS record to send a secret key, an
attacker could trick a user into signing using a different key and
user id. The trust model should protect against such rogue keys but
we better make sure that secret keys are never received from remote
sources.
