Name : pam_krb5
Product : Fedora 10
Version : 2.3.5
Release : 1.fc10
URL : https://fedorahosted.org/pam_krb5/
Summary : A Pluggable Authentication Module for Kerberos 5.
Description :
This is pam_krb5, a pluggable authentication module that can be used with
Linux-PAM and Kerberos 5. This module supports password checking, ticket
creation, and optional TGT verification and conversion to Kerberos IV tickets.
The included pam_krb5afs module also gets AFS tokens if so configured.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This updates the pam_krb5 package from version 2.3.2 to 2.3.5, fixing
CVE-2009-1384: in certain configurations, the password prompt could vary
depending on whether or not the user account was known to the system or the KDC.
It also fixes a bug which prevented password change attempts from working if the
KDC denied requests for password-changing credentials with settings which would
be used for login credentials.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Tue May 26 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 2.3.5-1
- catch the case where we pass a NULL initial password into libkrb5 and
it uses our callback to ask us for the password for the user using a
principal name, and reject that (#502602)
- always prompt for a password unless we were told not to (#502602,
CVE-2009-1384)
* Wed Mar 4 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 2.3.4-1
- don't request password-changing credentials with the same options that we
use when requesting ticket granting tickets, which might run afoul of KDC
policies
* Thu Feb 26 2009 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng at lists.fedoraproject.org> - 2.3.3-2
- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild
* Fri Feb 6 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 2.3.3-1
- clean up a couple of debug messages
* Fri Feb 6 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com>
- clean up a couple of unclosed pipes to nowhere
