Description Milan Broz 2019-03-14 11:22:49 UTC 
Description of problem:

The libargon2 can exhaust system resourses (specifically if running under cgroup memory limits).

In this case create_pthread() fails, code then does not wait for remaining threads and these access deallocated memory. Libargon2 crashes with segfault or FPU exception.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libargon2-20161029-7.fc30

How reproducible:
Set cgroups memory limit and run multiple argon2 instances in parallel requiring multiple threads (parallel cost parameter > 1) in this cgroup (reproducible aslo with cryptsetup and LUKS2).
...
