Is there any reason this bug is marked as Triaged?  I see that Dolph's
patch was merged back in may and I'm wondering if there is more to do
here.

Title:
  passlib: long passwords trigger long checks

Status in OpenStack Identity (Keystone):
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Grant Murphy originally reported:

  * Denial of Service

    The passlib restriction of 4096 for maximum password length is 
    potentially too generous for production environments. On my local machine
    the sha512_crypt algorithm with input of 4096 and 40000
    rounds will potentially introduce a DOS problem:
         feasible length(128) password encrypt:  0.0707409381866  seconds
         feasible length(128) password verify:  0.140727996826  seconds
         excessive length(4096) password encrypt:  1.33277702332  seconds
         excessive length(4096) password verify:  2.66491699219  seconds

  
    I would consider tweaking these values (length or rounds) to reduce 
    the computational overhead here or you're probably going to have a bad time.

  If this is exploitable it will need a CVE, if not we should still
  harden it so it can't be monkeyed with in the future.
