Security Fix for kdc

Contributed by grey on 2004-06-01 from the we need a patch logo dept.

A flaw in the Kerberos V kdc(8) server could result in the administrator of a Kerberos realm having the ability to impersonate any principal in any other realm which has established a cross-realm trust with their realm. The flaw is due to inadequate checking of the "transited" field in a Kerberos request. For more details see Heimdal's announcement.

Patches are available for 3.5 and 3.4, and have been commited to the corresponding -stable branches. As always, you can also check the errata page.

The Heimdal announcement is dated 2004-04-01, is the Heimdal version that comes with OpenBSD radically different from the one ditributed by kth or is there some other reason as to way the patch shows up two months later?

Just wondering.

  The people who deal with this have been very busy with personal matters.
