This has been fixed in subsequent gcrypt releases. In particular, > the gcrypt version that is used by cryptsetup starting with this release, > has the bug fixed. Consequently, LUKS containers created with broken > whirlpool will fail to open from now on. > > In the case that you're affected by the whirlpool bug, please read section > '8.3 Gcrypt after 1.5.3 breaks Whirlpool' of the cryptsetup FAQ at > https://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions carefully. > It explains how to open your LUKS container and reencrypt it afterwards. > > -- Jonas Meurer <m...@debian.org> Tue, 04 Mar 2014 23:17:37 +0100 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
