An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

This update for cryptctl fixes the following issues:

Update to version 2.4:

  • CVE-2019-18906: Client side password hashing was equivalent to clear
    text password storage (bsc#1186226)
  • First step to use plain text password instead of hashed password.
  • Move repository into the SUSE github organization
  • in RPC server, if client comes from localhost, remember its ipv4
    localhost address instead of ipv6 address
  • tell a record to clear expired pending commands upon saving a command
    result; introduce pending commands RPC test case

    administrator mount and unmount disks by issuing these two commands on
