- perl-Crypt-PBKDF2-0.261630-1.el10_2
This update addresses a number of security issues:
- Change the default hash algorithm to HMAC-SHA256, and increase the default number of iterations to 600,000, in line with current OWASP recommendations (CVE-2026-9641)
- Generate salts using Crypt::URandom (a strong system RNG) instead of perl's builtin rand(), which is not cryptographically secure (CVE-2026-9638)
- Use a constant-time comparison in validate to avoid timing attacks (CVE-2017-20240)
