Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix issue with newer glibc crypt() function
Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 10:09:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1365181772-18644-1-git-send-email-sgw@linux.intel.com> (raw)
The 2.17 version of glibc's crypt() was changed to returning NULL if
it got an invalid seed, this broke tinylogin and shadow in different
ways.
Thanks to the Slackware team for "just in time patches", they found it
first in shadow around March 28th!
I do not believe that these will introduce any security concerns, please
review with a careful eye.
Sau!
