NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-dotnet60-dotnet-sdk-6.0-source-built-artifacts package and not the rh-dotnet60-dotnet-sdk-6.0-source-built-artifacts package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

crypto-js is a JavaScript library of crypto standards. Prior to version 4.2.0, crypto-js PBKDF2 is 1,000 times weaker than originally specified in 1993, and at least 1,300,000 times weaker than current industry standard. This is because it both defaults to SHA1, a cryptographic hash algorithm considered insecure since at least 2005, and defaults to one single iteration, a 'strength' or 'difficulty' value specified at 1,000 when specified in 1993. PBKDF2 relies on iteration count as a countermeasure to preimage and collision attacks. If used to protect passwords, the impact is high. If used to generate signatures, the impact is high. Version 4.2.0 contains a patch for this issue. As a workaround, configure crypto-js to use SHA256 with at least 250,000 iterations.
