I don't know anything about bugs in PGP 7.x 'cause I didn't
use this
version. Also I strongly do not recommend to use it because
source code
isn't available.

The bug I described is presented *only* in the following
versions:

PGP Desktop Professional 9.0.3 Build 2932 (latest version as
of release)
PGP Desktop 8.x (all versions tested were vulnerable)

See 
http://metasploit.com/research/vulns/pgp_slackspace/

P.S.
Did you mean PGP 9.04 ?
