# HG changeset patch
# Parent  8605dc0a7ce54648502196034871c8e6462c03ce
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
