AXSA:2008-345:03 advisory.

    Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system, which can improve your network's
    security by eliminating the insecure practice of cleartext passwords.
    - add preliminary patch to fix use of uninitialized pointer / double-free in KDC
    (CVE-2008-0062,CVE-2008-0063)
    - add backported patch to fix use-after-free in libgssapi_krb5 (CVE-2007-5901)
    - add backported patch to fix double-free in libgssapi_krb5 (CVE-2007-5971)
    - add preliminary patch to fix incorrect handling of high-numbered descriptors in the RPC library
    (CVE-2008-0947)
    - fix storage of delegated krb5 credentials when they've been wrapped up in spnego
    - return a delegated credential handle even if the application didn't pass a location to store the flags
    which would be used to indicate that credentials were delegated
    - add patch to fall back to TCP kpasswd servers for kdc-unreachable, can't-resolve-server, and response-
    too-big errors
    - use the right sequence numbers when generating password-set/change requests for kpasswd servers after
    the first one
    - backport from 1.6.3 to initialize a library-allocated get_init_creds_opt structure the same way we would
    one which was allocated by the calling application, to restore kinit's traditional behavior of doing a
    password change right when it detects an expired password
    - ftpd: also do PAM session and credential management when ftp clients use strong authentication
    - update to revised patch for CVE-2007-3999
    - fix omission of files created by the db2 plugin when labeling
    - make krb5-workstation depend on the PAM configuration file used by login.krb5
    - fix omission of kadmin log file when labeling
    - add preliminary patch to fix buffer overflow in rpcsec_gss implementation in libgssrpc (CVE-2007-3999)
    and write through uninitialized pointer in kadmind (CVE-2007-4000)
    - kdc: default to listening for TCP clients as well
    - login: change to the user's home directory after dropping privileges, not before
    - turn off the ldap features
    - add a patch to allow applications to try to use a key with kvno=0, if found, in place of the right
    version for a request
    - incorporate fixes for MITKRB5-SA-2007-004 (CVE-2007-2442,CVE-2007-2443) and MITKRB5-SA-2007-005
    (CVE-2007-2798)
    - reintroduce missing %postun for the non-split_workstation case
    - add missing pam-devel build requirement, force selinux-or-fail build
    - label all files at creation-time according to the SELinux policy
    - perform PAM account / session management in krshd
    - perform PAM authentication and account / session management in ftpd
    - perform PAM authentication, account / session management, and password- changing in login.krb5
    - preprocess kerberos.ldif into a format FDS will like better, and include that as a doc file as well
    - switch man pages to being generated with the right paths in them
    - drop old, incomplete SELinux patch
    - add patch from Greg Hudson to make srvtab routines report missing-file errors at same point that keytab
    routines do
    - pull patch from svn to undo unintentional chattiness in ftp
    - pull patch from svn to handle NULL krb5_get_init_creds_opt structures better in a couple of places where
    they're expected
    - update to 1.6.1
    - drop no-longer-needed patches for CVE-2007-0956,CVE-2007-0957,CVE-2007-1216
    - drop patch for sendto bug in 1.6, fixed in 1.6.1
    - kadmind.init: don't fail outright if the default principal database isn't there if it looks like we
    might be using the kldap plugin
    - kadmind.init: attempt to extract the key for the host-specific kadmin service when we try to create the
    keytab
    - omit dependent libraries from the krb5-config --libs output, as using shared libraries (no more static
    libraries) makes them unnecessary and they're not part of the libkrb5 interface (strips out libkeyutils,
    libresolv, libdl)
    - pull in keyutils as a build requirement to get the KEYRING: ccache type, because we've merged
    - fix an uninitialized length value which could cause a crash when parsing key data coming from a
    directory server
    - correct a typo in the krb5.conf man page (ldap_server->ldap_servers)
    - move the default acl_file, dict_file, and admin_keytab settings to the part of the default/example
    kdc.conf where they'll actually have an effect
    - add patch to correct unauthorized access via krb5-aware telnetdaemon (CVE-2007-0956)
    - add patch to fix buffer overflow in krb5kdc and kadmind(CVE-2007-0957)
    - add patch to fix double-free in kadmind (CVE-2007-1216)
    - back out buildrequires: keyutils-libs-devel for now
    - add buildrequires: on keyutils-libs-devel to enab
