My main question is does it affect gpg as well?

  Yes, PGP/GPG is affected

  According to the quote in the article, yes. The flaws “might reveal the plaintext of encrypted emails, including encrypted emails you sent in the past,” Sebastian Schinzel, a professor of computer security at Münster University of Applied Sciences, wrote on Twitter. “There are currently no reliable fixes for the vulnerability. If you use PGP/GPG or S/MIME for very sensitive communication, you should disable it in your email client for now.”

    >"If you use PGP/GPG or S/MIME for very sensitive communication, you should disable it in your email client for now.” So folks relying on these thing for sensitive communication should do no communitcation until..??? Just trying to clarify.

      Until a fix is released and they've installed it, one would assume. The paper is being released tomorrow morning at 7am GMT so we should learn more then.
