CVE-2014-3591 describes a vulnerability in Libgcrypt before 1.6.3 and GnuPG before 1.4.19, where the lack of ciphertext blinding for Elgamal decryption allows physically proximate attackers to extract the server's private key. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 4.2) requires physical access and high attack complexity, but could lead to a complete compromise of confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this decade-old flaw.
