-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The MIT Kerberos Team announces the availability of MIT Kerberos 5 Release 1.13.5. 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 1.13.5 ==================================== You may retrieve the Kerberos 5 Release 1.13.5 source from the following URL: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/ More information about the krb5-1.13.5 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 1.13.5 (2016-04-18) ==================================== 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 a moderate-severity vulnerability in the LDAP KDC back end that could be exploited by a privileged kadmin user [CVE-2016-3119] 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 iQGcBAEBAgAGBQJXGAwYAAoJEKMvF/0AVcMF18wL/0BNyF13Hs+AkVT1BTrHy0y4 6q5VGvOi0e8GDIzRT/xF3kudCAjIumklGP4DU/GFnbPnOQYPQ0srNeZe+MZ3BPfM mQ59OAnSDw33w0cZxLhl/PvvfvMOaUZCs36DPqDsgNfvlULpIfMW6CkFTEi9LFTW cfv93zsGSOf9BG37qUn4/B6CX9WrcL8a0JzNwIxlX6awqmHEu5Dt1LTAmhMZFgA4 CTDGzHdx8+XtvEuVRec+1hvI/BTtZPxksftjiLOPNU+bQY5wYceDZ92pzEUFxPRe kuLkDHCtId2QhTroNlYZUcXm5e7DDLC8cL9s3/JegzvNP46DQZw6DPx5cbQgx+qh cFT5rAVQYfvdr9f9ZZ0QQT5sd2TzxHNRHxBygPAufYp3MsA6LFML1HyDtEr+4w5c 2+UPNa37qvyXBNQSS64spAzRHzRLWOhz+8mMv7hQKmlYajyMHBGMRxfGX3UivSZr 2de5LXk16wAQSaDxrilWT06GJ1LcjBrOsqVBNnEv2g== =HG4a -----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
