qtpass (1.2.1-1~bpo9+1) stretch-backports; urgency=medium All passwords generated with QtPass' built-in password generator prior to 1.2.1 are possibly predictable and enumerable by hackers. While the default configuration in stretch is not vulnerable, the situation is different for users of stretch-backports. In August 2017 a new version of `pass` was uploaded to stretch-backports which doesn't recommend `pwgen` anymore. This means that QtPass will probably have used the built-in password generator since then. Please change all passwords you generated with QtPass since August 2017. -- Philip Rinn Mon, 08 Jan 2018 00:38:34 +0100 qtpass (1.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=high All passwords generated with QtPass' built-in password generator prior to 1.2.1 are possibly predictable and enumerable by hackers. The generator used libc's random(), seeded with srand(msecs), where msecs is not the msecs since 1970 (not that that'd be secure anyway), but rather the msecs since the last second. This means there are only 1000 different sequences of generated passwords. . NB: QtPass uses `pwgen` to generate passwords by default. This means, if you didn't change the configuration to use the built-in password generator your passwords are safe. If you used the built-in password generator, change all passwords you generated with QtPass. -- Philip Rinn Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:45:48 +0100
