Bug Description

Package libcryptx-perl in Ubuntu 18.04 has version 0.056-1 from universe. This package has a severe bug which was fixed with version 0.63. The bug causes issues with certain decryption.

Therefore I would like to request backporting the version 0.63 to 18.04.

I think the important change to get the decryption working was this one (taken from the release notes of libcryptx-perl):

- improved CBC/ECB padding (using libtomcrypt's functions: padding_depad + padding_pad)
