According to the news at https://gnupg.org:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Libgcrypt 1.9.1 released (2021-01-29)   important

Unfortunately we introduced a severe bug in Libgcrypt 1.9.0 released 10 days 
ago.
If you already started to use version 1.9.0 please update immediately to 1.9.1.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Currently the master and staging branch are using libgcrypt 1.8.5 and
core-updates is using 1.8.7. These versions don't have the critical bug
as it was introduced in version 1.9.0. So I think updating libgcrypt on
master is not an emergency, we just have to remember to never use
version 1.9.0.
