ccrypt is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams.
It was designed to replace the standard unix crypt utility, which is
notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. ccrypt is based

candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard. This cipher is believed
to provide very strong security.
The Laboratory intexxia found a remote exploitable format string
vulnerability in libgtop_daemon which could cause privilege escalation
on a remote system.
The libgtop_daemon is not running by default if you run GNOME.
New since last version:

- update for parallel install with libgtop-2.0
+ Only install shared libraries on shared arches.
