gpgsm uses Libgcrypt and Libgcrypt employs RSA blinding for a long time
now.  Thus it is not vulnerable.  The reason Libgcrypt has RSA blinding
is that it is used by online protocols like TLS were it is easy to mount
certain timing attacks in the LAN.  With GnuPG these calls of network
based attacks are not possible and thus we did not used blinding in
GnuPG-1.
