Name : krb5 Product : Fedora 19 Version : 1.11.3 Release : 1.fc19 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 sending passwords over the network in unencrypted form. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update adds some proposed and backported fixes to the package. Notable changes include: * factoring in the KDC's notion of the current time when specifying the desired credential lifetime when obtaining initial credentials (proposed, #961221) * making the library actually use an empty string that's passed in when an API calls for a password (backported, #960001) * correctly checking the list of transited realms when a GSSAPI acceptor application is used by a client from a different realm, when there is one or more realm in between them (RT#7639) * not insisting on communicating only with master KDCs if the client found itself communicating with one while chasing referrals while obtaining initial credentials (backported, #969331) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #969331 - Backport fix for RT/krbdev.mit.edu: Ticket #7650 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969331 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
