[Bug 305882] [NEW] ecryptfs private wrapped passphrase with wrong password during password change

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

To reproduce:

1. On command line, attempt to change your password to a weak password (like "yes").
2. Actually change your password to a strong password.

I found that ecryptfs wrapped the passphrase in the weak password
instead of the final password I chose.

Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10
