Fedora 22 QCA Security Advisory: Update for Critical Crypto Issues

fedora
Calendar Grey February 29, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Acquire the most recent security patches for QCA within Fedora 22, focusing on urgent vulnerabilities and improving cryptographic interfaces.
Security fix for CVE-2016-2194, CVE-2016-2195, CVE-2016-2196

Summary

Taking a hint from the similarly-named Java Cryptography Architecture,

QCA aims to provide a straightforward and cross-platform crypto API,

using Qt datatypes and conventions. QCA separates the API from the

implementation, using plugins known as Providers. The advantage of this

model is to allow applications to avoid linking to or explicitly depending

on any particular cryptographic library. This allows one to easily change

or upgrade crypto implementations without even needing to recompile the

application!
