-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2025-823060eea9 2025-02-17 01:15:48.237836+00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : libxcrypt Product : Fedora 41 Version : 4.4.38 Release : 6.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: Backport upstream patches to add support (and testsuite) for sm3crypt and sm3-yescrypt hashes. Support for sm3crypt hashes is needed for compatibility with hashes computed on EulerOS, Kylin, openEuler, and openKylin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Feb 14 2025 Björn Esser <besser82@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 4.4.38-6 - Backport upstream patches to add sm3{,-yescrypt} backend and tests * Thu Feb 13 2025 Björn Esser <besser82@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 4.4.38-5 - Use config.cache to speedup the build process of the compat package * Fri Jan 17 2025 Fedora Release Engineering <releng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 4.4.38-4 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_42_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use su -c 'dnf upgrade --advisory FEDORA-2025-823060eea9' at the command line.
