Description: 

Python-crypto is a collection of both secure hash functions (such as MD5 and
SHA), and various encryption algorithms (AES, DES, RSA, ElGamal etc.).

This is a parallel update for EPEL6

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues:
=======
- Package contains BR: python2-devel or python3-devel

The current build rquirement is set as:

BuildRequires:	python-devel >= 2.2, gmp-devel >= 4.1

But should be:

BuildRequires:	python2-devel, gmp-devel >= 4.1

Or even better IMHO:

BuildRequires:	python2-devel
BuildRequires:	gmp-devel >= 4.1

This is necessary because this package targets EPEL6 where
python2-devel is not part of the standard buildroot.

- Package provides "pycrypto".

I'm not 100% sure on this, but IMHO it looks like this, exposed as Python module at the "Crypto21" namespace can not be considered a provider of "pycrypto".

- python-crypto2.1-use-Crypto21.patch

This patch should only rename module names from 'Crypto.*' to
'Crypto21.*' and not all occurences of 'Crypto'.  That is, it probably
be a 's/Crypto\./Crypto21/g' instead of a 's/Crypto/Crypto21/g'
because of false positives such as:

-# into PyCrypto (the "Modifications").
+# into PyCrypto21 (the "Modifications").

and:

-    This supports the API for Cryptographic Hash Functions (PEP 247).
+    This supports the API for Crypto21graphic Hash Functions (PEP 247).

and also:

-class CryptoWarning(Warning):
-    """Base class for PyCrypto warnings"""
+class Crypto21Warning(Warning):
+    """Base class for PyCrypto21 warnings"""

This will make code that depende on python-crypto fail because symbol
names are different.

- I'm attaching a modified version of the SPEC with a few
  changes/suggestions and also the added patch.

===== MUST items =====

C/C++:
[x]: Package does not contain kernel modules.
[x]: Package contains no static executables.
[x]: Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
     Note: Unversioned so-files in private %_libdir subdirectory (see
     attachment). Verify they are not in ld path.
     Reviewer note: unversioned .so files are Python modules and not in ld path.
[x]: Package does not contain any libtool archives (.la)
[x]: Rpath absent or only used for internal libs.

Generic:
[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging

     crypto2.1/licensecheck.txt
     Reviewer note: src/AES.c may have triggered a false positive on
     fedora-review, since it is actually public domain and there's no

     public domain.
[x]: If the package is under multiple licenses, the licensing breakdown must
     be documented in the spec.
[x]: %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise.
     Reviewer note: compilation is called from setup.py, which is
     called with CFLAGS=%{optflags}, so, check.

[x]: Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least one
     supported primary architecture.
[x]: Package installs properly.

Comment 10 Paul Howarth 2015-04-24 12:46:27 UTC
I believe this package should be patched for CVE-2012-2417. The patch for 2.0.1 in the el5 branch of python-crypto should do the trick.
