The PBKDF2 password hashing algorithm built by guoguo completed Fri, 16 Oct 2026 17:57:22 UTC
Task 54876

Description

PBKDF2 is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of "key strengthening" to make the complexity of a brute-force attack arbitrarily high. PBKDF2 uses any other cryptographic hash or cipher (by convention, usually HMAC-SHA2, but Crypt::PBKDF2 is fully pluggable), and allows for an arbitrary number of iterations of the hashing function, and a nearly unlimited output hash size (up to 2**32-1 times the size of the output of the backend hash). The hash is salted, as any password hash should be, and the salt may also be of arbitrary size.

Changelog

* Thu Jul 16 2026 Fedora Release Engineering <releng@fedoraproject.org> - 0.261630-2
- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_45_Mass_Rebuild

* Fri Jun 12 2026 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> - 0.261630-1
- Update to 0.261630 (rhbz#2488228)
  - 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)
- Switch to Module::Build::Tiny flow
