Name        : krb5
Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 1.7.1
Release     : 6.fc12
URL         : http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
Summary     : The Kerberos network authentication system
Description :
Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system,
which can improve your network's security by eliminating the insecure
practice of cleartext passwords.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A GSSAPI-authenticated service could be remotely forced to trigger an assertion
failure by sending it certain invalid messages (MITKRB5-SA-2010-002,
CVE-2010-0628).    The included patch for adding PAM support to the bundled FTP
server contained a bug which would cause the service to crash if a client
attempted to authenticate as a user who was not known to the server system.  In
the default xinetd configuration, the service would be invoked with the -a flag,
and this would therefore only be possible if the client authenticated using
GSSAPI beforehand.

ChangeLog:

* Tue Mar 23 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7.1-6
- add fix for denial-of-service in SPNEGO (CVE-2010-0628)
* Mon Mar  8 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7.1-5
- pull up patch to get the client libraries to correctly perform password
  changes over IPv6 (Sumit Bose, RT#6661)
* Wed Mar  3 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7.1-4
- fix a null pointer dereference and crash introduced in our PAM patch that
  would happen if ftpd was given the name of a user who wasn't known to the
  local system, limited to being triggerable by gssapi-authenticated clients by
  the default xinetd config (Olivier Fourdan, #569472)
* Tue Mar  2 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7.1-3
- fix a regression (not labeling a kdb database lock file correctly, #569902)
* Tue Feb 16 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7.1-2
- apply patch from upstream to fix KDC denial of service (CVE-2010-0283,
* Wed Feb  3 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7.1-1
- update to 1.7.1
  - don't trip AD lockout on wrong password (#542687, #554351)
  - incorporates fixes for CVE-2009-4212 and CVE-2009-3295
  - fixes gss_krb5_copy_ccache() when SPNEGO is used
- move sim_client/sim_server, gss-client/gss-server, uuclient/uuserver to
  the devel subpackage, better lining up with the expected krb5/krb5-appl
  split in 1.8
- drop kvno,kadmin,k5srvutil,ktutil from -workstation-servers, as it already
  depends on -workstation which also includes them
* Mon Jan 25 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-23
- tighten up default permissions on kdc.conf and kadm5.acl (#558343)
* Fri Jan 22 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-22
- use portreserve correctly -- portrelease takes the basename of the file
  whose entries should be released, so we need three files, not one
* Mon Jan 18 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-21
- suppress warnings of impending password expiration if expiration is more than
  seven days away when the KDC reports it via the last-req field, just as we
  already do when it reports expiration via the key-expiration field (#556495)
- link with libtinfo rather than libncurses, when we can, in future RHEL
* Fri Jan 15 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-20

  when checking whether or not we get to use the prompter callback (#555875)
* Thu Jan 14 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-19
- use portreserve to make sure the KDC can always bind to the kerberos-iv
  port, kpropd can always bind to the krb5_prop port, and that kadmind can
  always bind to the kerberos-adm port (#555279)
- correct inadvertent use of macros in the changelog (rpmlint)
* Tue Jan 12 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-18
- add upstream patch for integer underflow during AES and RC4 decryption
  (CVE-2009-4212), via Tom Yu (#545015)
* Wed Jan  6 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-17
- put the conditional back for the -devel subpackage
- back down to the earlier version of the patch for #551764; the backported
  alternate version was incomplete

- refresh patch for #542868 from trunk
* Thu Dec 10 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com>
- move man pages that live in the -libs subpackage into the regular
  %{_mandir} tree where they'll still be found if that package is the
  only one installed (#529319)
* Wed Dec  9 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-13
- and put it back in
* Tue Dec  8 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com>
- back that last change out
* Tue Dec  8 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 1.7-12
- try to make gss_krb5_copy_ccache() work correctly for spnego (#542868)
