Packages
- libcrypt-saltedhash-perl - module for handling salted hashes
Details
It was discovered that Crypt-SaltedHash incorrectly generated salts using a
cryptographically weak pseudo-random number generator. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to predict generated salts, leading to a weakening
of cryptographic protections.
