Subject: [PATCH] Bump hash for rpmdb cookie to SHA256 to appease FIPS
a5e32e
a5e32e
The rpmdb cookie is not a security feature, but as these existing
a5e32e
hashes are more convenient than coming up with our own... we then
a5e32e
run into the great big wall of FIPS which in its current incarnation
a5e32e
disallows use of SHA1. And so rpmdbCookie() fails under current FIPS.
a5e32e
a5e32e
Just bumping the algorithm to SHA256 seems the path of lowest
a5e32e
resistance, whether that algo makes sense for this purpose or not.
