[SECURITY] Fedora 44 Update: perl-Crypt-PBKDF2-0.261630-1.fc44

PBKDF2 is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of "key strengthening" to make the complexity of a brute-force attack arbitrarily hig h. PBKDF2 uses any other cryptographic hash or cipher by convention, usually HMAC-SHA2, but Crypt::PBKDF2 is fully pluggable, and allows for...

SUSE CVE-2026-9638

Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts. These versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography...

CVE-2017-20240

Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl are vulnerable to timing attacks. These versions use Perl's built-in eq comparison. Discrepancies in timing could be used to guess the underlying derived-key...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-9641

Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl have a weak default algorithm and number of iterations. The default algorithm is HMAC-SHA1, which should only be used for legacy systems. These versions default to using 1000 iterations. Depending on the chosen algorithm, 220,000 to 1,400,000...

CVE-2026-9638 Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts

Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts. These versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography...

CVE-2026-9638

Crypt::PBKDF2 for Perl versions before 0.261630 are vulnerable because they generate salts with the built-in rand function, which is predictable and not suitable for cryptography. Affected component: Crypt::PBKDF2 (Perl). Root cause: use of insecure RNG for salts. Impact: cryptographic salts may ...

CVE-2017-20240

CVE-2017-20240 affects Crypt::PBKDF2 for Perl, with versions before 0.261630 vulnerable to timing attacks due to using Perl’s built-in eq comparison. Discrepancies in timing could reveal information about the derived key. Affected software: Crypt::PBKDF2 prior to 0.261630. Root cause: insecure eq...
