Hi,
The following vulnerabilities were published for libcrypt-pbkdf2-perl.
CVE-2026-9638[0]:
| Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure
| random values for salts. These versions use the built-in rand
| function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography.
CVE-2026-9641[1]:
| Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl have a weak default
| algorithm and number of iterations. The default algorithm is HMAC-
| SHA1, which should only be used for legacy systems. These versions
| default to using 1000 iterations. Depending on the chosen
| algorithm, 220,000 to 1,400,000 iterations should be used.
If you fix the vulnerabilities please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) ids in your changelog entry.

[1] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-9641

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
