Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2012-09-10 12:14:50 UTC
CVE-2012-2146 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2146):
  Elixir 0.8.0 uses Blowfish in CFB mode without constructing a unique
  initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for context-dependent
  users to obtain sensitive information and decrypt the database.

Thanks, Ian. Please don't forget to drop the vulnerable version.
