There are 2 open security issues in bookworm.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2026-47372:
(needs triaging)
Crypt::SaltedHash versions through 0.09 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts. These versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography.
- CVE-2026-47373:
(needs triaging)
Crypt::SaltedHash versions through 0.09 for Perl is susceptible to timing attacks. These versions use Perl's built-in eq comparison. Discrepencies in timing could be used to guess the underlying hash.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
