[katz at agentpp.com]

Hi,

this bug has been fixed in 3.2.20.

>What exactly is "salt" variable?

It is used as part of initialization vector during encryption.

>can't find place where this value is initiatelized.
>I found (unused) code where this value is just randomized!

It is initialized in AuthPriv constructor.

>How should "salt" work and where is mechanism to avoid reading whole 
>memory in line 1240 of auth_priv.cpp?

See the changes to auth_priv.cpp for 3.2.20.

Regards,
