Hi
I have a problem when my apache_1.3.29 w/ mod_perl 1.29 runs PerlRun and some CGI scripts with password encryption.
Script is ...
$password = crypt($password, &mkSalt($name.$password.$value) );
[...]
mod_perl 2 has a workaround for 5.8.0:
/* This was fixed in 5.9.0/5.8.1 (17775), but won't compile after 19122 */ #if PERL_REVISION == 5 && PERL_VERSION == 8 && PERL_SUBVERSION == 0 && \ defined(USE_REENTRANT_API) && defined(HAS_CRYPT_R) && defined(__GLIBC__) /* workaround perl5.8.0/glibc bug */ PL_reentrant_buffer->_crypt_struct.current_saltbits = 0; #endif
I haven't seen it in the mp1 code.
Is this workaround worth considering for backporting in mp1 ?
Looks like so. Hara has failed to respond back to the list and emailed me privately. And this did solve his problem after he stuck the above code somewhere in mod_perl.c. And yes, he was running 5.8.0.
