CVE-2013-7252

Publication date 18 January 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

kwalletd in KWallet before KDE Applications 14.12.0 uses Blowfish with ECB mode instead of CBC mode when encrypting the password store, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords via a codebook attack.

fixing this would require migrating existing wallets. 4.12 is switching to a gnupg backend. Marking as ignored, since changes are too intrusive to backport.
