retitle 714219 libc6: crypt(3) returns NULL with EINVAL instead of falling back to DES, breaking lots of software thanks
As seen on LWN: xlock can crash due to this, leaving the screen unlocked. At this point I feel confirmed in requesting that, no matter what would actually be the “correct” action, a defensive patch to revert to the old behaviour (and, maybe, syslog) is urgently needed to be deployed. Who knows what else lurks. bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-314 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Boris Esser, Sebastian Mancke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
