Dr Stephen A Hellberg commented on HIVE-17226:
----------------------------------------------
What prospects for the backport? I'd be interested to see No.1 addressing the
update for use of SHA-1 available on the older release lines. Did it happen?
> Use strong hashing as security improvement

>
> There have been 2 places identified where weak hashing needs to be replaced
> by SHA256.
> 1. CookieSigner.java uses MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA"). Mostly SHA is
> mapped to SHA-1, which is not secure enough according to today's standards.
> We should use SHA-256 instead.
> 2. GenericUDFMaskHash.java uses DigestUtils.md5Hex. MD5 is considered weak
> and should be replaced by DigestUtils.sha256Hex.
