Description:
------------
if I try and decryptverify an usigned message I get a double-
free. 

Looking at the code (~ gnupg.c:1292 in 1.3.2): 

    if(!verify_result->signatures){
        GNUPG_ERR           ("no signature found");
		gpgme_data_release(in);
	        free(out);
        return;
    }

the free(out) seems to be to blame - (other error paths don't 
seem to free out here) commenting out seems to stop the error 
- not sure if that is the fix though. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$message = ". an encrypted but not signed message"; 

$gpg = gnupg_init();
gnupg_seterrormode($gpg, GNUPG_ERROR_WARNING);
gnupg_adddecryptkey($gpg, "XXXX",null);
$plaintext = "";
$result  = gnupg_decryptverify($gpg, $message,&$plaintext);

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Warning:  gnupg_decryptverify(): no signature found in 
testgpg.php on line 21


Actual result:
--------------
$ php testgpg.php 
PHP Warning:  gnupg_decryptverify(): no signature found in 
testgpg.php on line 21

The gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem() call already free'd out

[2013-07-17 12:13 UTC] jimjag@php.net

Thx. That was indeed the problem since the gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem() call a 
few lines above already free'd out

Fix in trunk and will be in 1.3.4

Pecl still lists 1.3.3 as newest version (http://pecl.php.net/package/gnupg), phpinfo() tells me "Extension Version 1.3.3-dev" after "pecl install gnupg", when will 1.3.4 be available to fix this year-old bug?

In the meantime: Is there any method to check if a given encrypted message contains a signature so we can decide whether to use decrypt() or decryptverify()?
