[Phpmyadmin-devel] About the change in initialization vector (IV)

Hi, it seems that [0] which was done on QA_4_2 and released in 4.2.4, is causing problems to some users [1]. Maybe this kind of change should be postponed to 4.3 and reverted for 4.2.5?

I got a bit lost in the discussion there, the bug only happens without mcrypt installed?

Yes that could be an option, but still we need to fix that :-). -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.net

Or with a mismatched mcrypt library. I did not get a 100% confirmation about this, but this commit is the most likely candidate for the described behavior.

Fixing would be the best option, otherwise we'll have less people running 4.3. -- Marc Delisle (phpMyAdmin)

Well without mcrypt library the IV is not used at all for mcrypt (in QA_4_2, I've changed this in master). But now I see the problem, will fix that. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.net
