Package: python-cracklib
Version: 2.9.0-2
Severity: grave
In jessie, cracklib-check works, but the python binding looks totally broken.
It accepts anything:
Cracklib command line does work ok:
$ /usr/sbin/cracklib-check
ncc-1701
ncc-1701: it is based on a dictionary word
a
a: it is WAY too short
bc
bc: it is WAY too short
^C
Test with Debian 7.3:
$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan 2 2013, 13:56:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
import crack
crack.FascistCheck('toto')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module
ValueError: it is too short
crack.FascistCheck('secret')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module
ValueError: it is based on a dictionary word
This is the expected behavior.
But with debian testing:
$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jan 11 2014, 17:06:02)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
import crack
crack.FascistCheck('toto')
'toto'
crack.FascistCheck('secret')
'secret'
Everything is accepted, checks are totally disabled !
