| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the npm pbkdf2 library, allowing signature spoofing. When executing in javascript engines other than Nodejs or Nodejs when importing pbkdf2/browser, certain algorithms will silently fail and return invalid data. The return values are predictable, which undermines the security guarantees of the package.

This report refers to pbkdf2 NPM package <https://github.com/browserify/pbkdf2> and this <https://github.com/browserify/pbkdf2/security/advisories/GHSA-h7cp-r72f-jxh6> advisory about handling an unknown digest algorithm with returning a static value instead of raising an error. perl-PBKDF2-Tiny-0.005 is not affected:
$ perl -Ilib -MPBKDF2::Tiny=derive -e 'print derive(q{foo})' | hexdump -C
Digest function 'foo' not supported at -e line 1.
