#7634: MD5 collision could lead to SafeHaskell violation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: shachaf | Owner: ekmett Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: ⊥ Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.6.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Other | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ekmett): The move out from 7.12 was more an acknowledgement that the CLC wasn't planning on tackling this issue in 7.12. If everything is a priority then nothing is a priority, and we have lots of actionable issues with far more immediate impact. Switching fingerprints to something like SHA-256 could be done. In fact it is probably a pretty good idea, despite doubling the size of fingerprints and having a measurable performance impact -- if a patch was put forth then it would by all means be considered. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7634#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
