Description

Further to the email posted by Matthias Schmidt to DragonFly users list
(17/01/2012):

I had a look at (GitWeb) the source code:

lib/libcrypt/crypt-sha256.c

and

lib/libcrypt/crypt-sha512.c

Both of those C files have bugs in them: "crypt-sha256.c:":

....
/* Then the magic string */
SHA256_Update(&ctx, magic, sizeof(magic));
....

Should be strlen(magic) instead of sizeof(magic).
-----

And practically the same bug in: "crypt-sha512.c":

....
/* Then the magic string */
SHA512_Update(&ctx, magic, sizeof(magic));
.....

Should be strlen(magic) instead of sizeof(magic).
------

There might be other bugs - I didn't really check for any .....

Sincerely,

Robin Carey BSc
