IMHO we should publish 2.0.4 right away 
to fix the gpgsm issue.

Solution
========

Apply the following patch.

an exploit won't be
easy to write because the attack vector must fit into a valid ASN.1
DER encoded DN.  To further complicate the task, that DN is not used
directly but after a transformation to RFC-2253 format.
