[Devil-linux-software] [fmII] Heimdal 0.7.2 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '0.7.2' of
'Heimdal' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release fixes a security problem in rshd that enabled an attacker
to overwrite and change ownership of any file that root could write.
It fixes a DOS in telnetd. It makes gss_acquire_cred(GSS_C_ACCEPT)
check that the requested name exists in the keytab before returning
success. (This allows servers to check if it's even possible to use
GSSAPI.) It fixes the receiving end of token delegation for GSS-API.
It still wrongly uses subkey for sending, for compatibility reasons.
telnetd, login, and rshd are now more verbose in logging failed and
successful logins.  

Release focus:
5 - Major feature enhancements

Project description:
Heimdal is an implementation of Kerberos 5  that aims to be protocol
compatible with  existing implementations and RFC 1510. It is  also
reasonably compatible with the M.I.T  Kerberos V5 API, supports
Kerberos V5 over  GSS-API (RFC 1964), includes a number of  important
and useful applications (rsh, telnet,  popper, etc.), and is backwards
compatible  with Kerberos V4.
