Review: libcrypt-nacl-sodium-perl 2.001-1
Package Information
| Description | NaCl compatible modern, easy-to-use library for encryption, decryption, signatures, password hashing and more Heartbleed was a serious vulnerability in OpenSSL. The ability to read past the end of a buffer is a serious bug, but what made it even worse is the fact that secret data could be disclosed by doing so. In order to mitigate the impact of similar bugs, Data::BytesLocker provides heap allocation functions for storing sensitive data. These are not general-purpose allocation functions. In particular, they are slower than regular scalars, and they require 3 or 4 extra pages of virtual memory (usually between 12-16kb extra memory will be used). The stored data is placed at the end of a page boundary, immediately followed by a guard page. As a result, accessing memory past the end of the region will immediately terminate the application. This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl. |
