We can't know for sure. Libgcrypt is also used by proprietary
applications and thus we have no way to check it.
Before I released 1.5.0 I did a web search and found some code using
Libgcrypt. Except for GnuPG and GNUTLS they all seemed to do it right.
Unfortunately I forgot to notify the GNUTLS maintainers.
I even pondered with a system wide Libgcrypt option to change the
default so that in case of a problem this could be easily fixed.
However that might be worse than just fixing the applications right
away.
It is clearly a bug but Libgcrypt and I prefer to fix bugs than to
maintain bug emulation code for all eternity. There will be a GnuPG
2.0.18 shortly just to address this problem. I have not heard about
other projects suffering from that bug. gold(1) seems to be a more
severe problem than this bug fix.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
