Description Mattia Verga 2017-07-15 16:51:50 UTC
Systems installed by Calamares up to and including Calamares 3.1 have a weaker password salt than they should.

See https://calamares.io/calamares-cve/

An immediate upgrade to 3.1.1 is required at least on Rawhide and F26. Should we bump the release on F25 also?

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2017-07-16 08:12:50 UTC
This is in no way a critical issue, so I gave higher priority to QtWebEngine updates fixing dozens of security issues. (E.g., I spent the whole day yesterday to get one built for F24.)

I am looking into it. Upgrading F26 and Rawhide should be straightforward. Upgrading F25 and F24 is only possible if we push a grouped kpmcore/KPM/Calamares update, as kpmcore is too old there. Otherwise, I can only either backport the fix or declare it a WONTFIX.

IMHO, pushing a grouped kpmcore/KPM/Calamares update to F25 should be envisioned (are you going to prepare it, once I have Calamares 3.1.1 ready in Rawhide and F26?), but F24 is best left alone at this stage. F24 should get only security backports, if at all.

Comment 2 Mattia Verga 2017-07-18 15:49:00 UTC
I agree, I don't think we should touch F24.
About F25, I can update kpmcore to 3.1.1 and do a chainbuild of the whole group of packages when you're ready with Rawhide and F26. If, of course, it's ok for you to upgrade calamares on F25.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle.
Changing version to '27'.
