Are you positive on that?  There was a Slashdot discussion
(http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/08/24/155214) a day or two ago,
and it was stated that GnuPG doesn't have this vulnerability.  The
reason given was that it follows the OpenPGP spec, which doesn't have a
requirement for ADK capability.
