Public bug reported:
Pasaffe is a password manager compatible with the Password Safe database
format.
It came to my attention this week, via bug 2120576, that the Password
Safe program recently dramatically increased the number of iterations
when stretching passwords from 2048 to 262144. This triggered a old
sanity check in Pasaffe that would abort if the number of iterations was
higher than 100000.
This means that Pasaffe can no longer open Password Safe databases.
Version 0.59 of Pasaffe now removes the check, and also changes the
default number of iterations to remain secure with modern computers.
The new version also fixes a few smalls bugs with the test framework and
other minor packaging issues.
This package is in universe, and is self-contained, so has no impact on
any other package.
I am the upstream author, so I will immediately fix any issues that may
get introduced with this version. There is also a test suite that was modified
to include the changes.
Attached is the ChangeLog for the new version.
Thanks!
