-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2024-f8482d273d 2024-11-07 02:14:44.527395 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : libxcrypt Product : Fedora 41 Version : 4.4.36 Release : 8.fc41 URL : https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt Summary : Extended crypt library for descrypt, md5crypt, bcrypt, and others Description : libxcrypt is a modern library for one-way hashing of passwords. It supports a wide variety of both modern and historical hashing methods: yescrypt, gost-yescrypt, scrypt, bcrypt, sha512crypt, sha256crypt, md5crypt, SunMD5, sha1crypt, NT, bsdicrypt, bigcrypt, and descrypt. It provides the traditional Unix crypt and crypt_r interfaces, as well as a set of extended interfaces pioneered by Openwall Linux, crypt_rn, crypt_ra, crypt_gensalt, crypt_gensalt_rn, and crypt_gensalt_ra. libxcrypt is intended to be used by login(1), passwd(1), and other similar programs; that is, to hash a small number of passwords during an interactive authentication dialogue with a human. It is not suitable for use in bulk password-cracking applications, or in any other situation where speed is more important than careful handling of sensitive data. However, it is intended to be fast and lightweight enough for use in servers that must field thousands of login attempts per minute. This version of the library does not provide the legacy API functions that have been provided by glibc's libcrypt.so.1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Add some upstream patches fixing manpages. Add patch to use thread-local storage to make the crypt(3) and crypt_gensalt(3) functions MT-Safe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Nov 4 2024 Björn Esser <besser82@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 4.4.36-8 - Add some upstream patches mostly fixing manpages - Add patch to use TLS to make crypt and crypt_gensalt functions MT-Safe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
