Bug#342543: libdigest-crc-perl: Memory use is O(n)

[Jö Fahlke]

Package: libdigest-crc-perl
Version: 0.09-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

Digest::CRC keeps the whole message in an internal buffer.  This makes
it slower than neccessary for large files, because the message is
swapped out.  Files larger than the available memory can't be checked
at all.

Jö.
