-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The MIT Kerberos Team announces the availability of MIT Kerberos 5 Release 1.13.4. Please see below for a list of some major changes included, or consult the README file in the source tree for a more detailed list of significant changes.
RETRIEVING KERBEROS 5 RELEASE 1.13.4 ==================================== You may retrieve the Kerberos 5 Release 1.13.4 source from the following URL: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/ More information about the krb5-1.13.4 release is at: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.13/ Further information about Kerberos 5 may be found at the following URL: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/ and at the MIT Kerberos Consortium web site: http://www.kerberos.org/ DES transition ============== The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak. The krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away - - From using single-DES cryptosystems. Among these is a configuration variable that enables "weak" enctypes, which defaults to "false" beginning with krb5-1.8. Major changes in 1.13.4 (2016-03-07) ==================================== This is a bug fix release. The krb5-1.13 release series is in maintenance, and for new deployments, installers should prefer the krb5-1.14 release series or later. * Fix some moderate-severity vulnerabilities [CVE-2015-8629, CVE-2015-8630, CVE-2015-8631] in kadmind. * Improve behavior on hosts with long hostnames. * Avoid spurious failures when doing normal kprop to heavily loaded slave KDCs. Major changes in 1.13.3 (2015-12-04) ==================================== This is a bug fix release. The krb5-1.13 release series is in maintenance, and for new deployments, installers should prefer the krb5-1.14 release series or later. * Fix memory aliasing issues in SPNEGO and IAKERB mechanisms that could cause server crashes. [CVE-2015-2695] [CVE-2015-2696] [CVE-2015-2698] * Fix build_principal memory bug that could cause a KDC crash. [CVE-2015-2697] * Allow an iprop slave to receive full resyncs from KDCs running krb5-1.10 or earlier. Major changes in 1.13.2 (2015-05-08) ==================================== This is a bug fix release. * Fix a minor vulnerability in krb5_read_message, which is primarily used in the BSD-derived kcmd suite of applications. [CVE-2014-5355] * Fix a bypass of requires_preauth in KDCs that have PKINIT enabled. [CVE-2015-2694] * Fix some issues with the LDAP KDC database back end. * Fix an iteration-related memory leak in the DB2 KDC database back end. * Fix issues with some less-used kadm5.acl functionality. * Improve documentation. Major changes in 1.13.1 (2015-02-11) ==================================== This is a bug fix release. * Fix multiple vulnerabilities in the LDAP KDC back end. [CVE-2014-5354] [CVE-2014-5353] * Fix multiple kadmind vulnerabilities, some of which are based in the gssrpc library. [CVE-2014-5352 CVE-2014-5352 CVE-2014-9421 CVE-2014-9422 CVE-2014-9423] Major changes in 1.13 (2014-10-15) ================================== Administrator experience: * Add support for accessing KDCs via an HTTPS proxy server using the MS-KKDCP protocol. * Add support for hierarchical incremental propagation, where slaves can act as intermediates between an upstream master and other downstream slaves. * Add support for configuring GSS mechanisms using /etc/gss/mech.d/*.conf files in addition to /etc/gss/mech. * Add support to the LDAP KDB module for binding to the LDAP server using SASL. * The KDC listens for TCP connections by default. * Fix a minor key disclosure vulnerability where using the "keepold" option to the kadmin randkey operation could return the old keys. [CVE-2014-5351] User experience: * Add client support for the Kerberos Cache Manager protocol. If the host is running a Heimdal kcm daemon, caches served by the daemon can be accessed with the KCM: cache type. * When built on OS X 10.7 and higher, use "KCM:" as the default cache type, unless overridden by command-line options or krb5-config values. Performance: * Add support for doing unlocked database dumps for the DB2 KDC back end, which would allow the KDC and kadmind to continue accessing the database during lengthy database dumps. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQGcBAEBAgAGBQJW3h+TAAoJEKMvF/0AVcMFyp0L/2Kh6t3ohnk6KNDMADwpkUSt 5B/C9c1/6+Hiro3tSoMBewhHP2L8+1h7Js7Myf4+MkvMg4jAil0BHUpSPp9v1YXI kMh3y4l4Hrz9gH5ZcsoviiTRNufqyU5oc3JH1w3V7ggD9jw3uRzEWkulHI1hB/Qs T4pLt6bxspwmLKTgCYTa1mTeWDyvhLoQAcip9uO2N4lRpIBtArBHaKdR5FX5gspl 7fZUN/z+m1zkaEt+0bV1qmbYJleWS+knLkmZEHXLDqF3kTBrtHgVqAItBqXOH8YN HLaNNlXhX2vHdh71VnYnWnQFa79cG2CvF3FJu75WJ6GuHA4kpCt5pojEDs0eLdw0 Z0rk5zkL38iOtt30EnCpczsQawGNETDEhBbmuKAzUgfeo6vZmGhW/QYckyHerYyt Bxhv1kOqPqC0cwjLKjr+XCLSlC+6mKdMvoPY2sj48Ndd5izizQqUMh6FLXl5WJHC 7eBTA0d9uNBhSClcHIYROKDw2Fp2rbWaV5JTdmGbDA== =wqsx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kerberos-announce mailing list kerberos-annou...@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos-announce ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
