libxcrypt-4.3.4-1.fc29

FEDORA-2018-a1a83b2ed7 created by besser82 6 years ago for Fedora 29
  • New upstream release.
  • Update %description.
  • Add HMAC checksum file for the static library
  • Drop the common sub-package
  • Some spec-file optimizations
  • Changes made by upstream relevant for Fedora:
    • Implement the gost-yescrypt ($gy$) hashing algorithm.
    • Remove all of the nonnull annotations, which are a questionable optimization that have caused problems in the past and may cause future problems on some systems.
    • Implement crypt_checksalt, which can be used by portable users of libxcrypt to check whether the desired hash method is supported.
    • Fix the gensalt function for the NT hashing method ($3$) to properly terminate its output string. The output buffer for the returned string must be at least 30 bytes long.
    • Remove the gensalt fuction for the bcrypt x variant ($2x$). This prefix was never intended for use when hashing new passphrases. The only use case originally intended was to manually edit '$2a$' to '$2x$' in passphrase hashes to knowingly take the risk yet enable users to continue to log in when upgrading systems with buggy bcrypt implementations to fixed versions.
    • Add an alias for crypt_gensalt_r. The function was available in older versions (v3.1.1 and earlier) of libxcrypt. It has the same semantics and the same prototype as the crypt_gensalt_rn function.
    • --enable-hashes now supports 'fedora' as a group of hashing methods.
    • Add aliases for xcrypt{,_r} and xcrypt_gensalt{,_r}. They were added for code compatibility with libxcrypt v3.1.1 and earlier.
    • Install the <xcrypt.h> header file, declaring the previously named aliases, and a symlink from libxcrypt.so to libcrypt.so, if a shared library is build. For static libraries a corresponding symlink for the archive file will be installed.
    • Replace the prototype for the crypt_gensalt_r function with a declaration through a macro, so new compiled applications link against the identical crypt_gensalt_rn function directly.
