# HG changeset patch
# Parent  f7e1af51abd41372c38787a5e427e95bbc314b4c
Use a salted hash of the lock passphrase instead of plain text and do
constant-time comparisons of it. Should prevent leaking any information about
it via timing, pointed out by Ryan Castellucci.  Add a 0.1s incrementing delay
for each failed unlock attempt up to 10s.

CVE-2015-5352
bsc#936695
