Specifically: 1) It was found that Revelation limited effective password lengths to thirty two characters, which made it easier for context-dependent attackers to successfully conduct brute-force password guessing attacks, 2) It was found that Revelation did not iterate the particular passphrase through some of the SHA family of hashing algorithms, in order to derive the encryption key, which made it easier (in that scenario there were only 7 bits to vary on each character) for context- dependent attackers to successfully conduct dictionary based password guessing attacks.

Packages are in rawhide. There is a lingering issue which gconf schema changes that causes the new revelation to not work correctly without manual intervention to delete the .gconf configs for revelation and restarting the user session. I haven't been able to nail down a complete fix for that and I can't get it to happen consistently on my test F16 and F17 machines. So the packages are lingering in updates-testing. -jef Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/revelation/+bug/1014326/comments/10 ** Changed in: revelation (Fedora) Status: Unknown => Fix Released ** Changed in: revelation (Fedora) Importance: Unknown => Low ** Bug watch added: Gentoo Bugzilla #421571 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421571 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014326 Title: revelation: Too weak encryption / file format to be considered as a password manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/revelation/+bug/1014326/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
