[Bug 1100295] Re: MD5 is insecure, add modern hashing

[Nikita Yerenkov-Scott]

I edited the SHAs listed in the report because the ones listed there
were just as vulnerable now mostly as MD5.

** Description changed:

  MD5 is insecure due to hash collisions.
  
- Add more modern and reliable hashing algorithms such as SHA-1, SHA-2 or
- SHA-3.
+ Add more modern and reliable hashing algorithms such as SHA-256 or
+ SHA-512.

** Also affects: ubuntu-gnome
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome
       Status: New => Confirmed
