Kerberos Version 5, Release 1.16
Release Notes

Copyright and Other Notices
---------------------------
Copyright (C) 1985-2019 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Please see the file named NOTICE for additional notices.
Documentation
-------------
Unified documentation for Kerberos V5 is available in both HTML and
PDF formats. The table of contents of the HTML format documentation
is at doc/html/index.html, and the PDF format documentation is in the
doc/pdf directory.
Additionally, you may find copies of the HTML format documentation
online at
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-latest/doc/
for the most recent supported release, or at
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/
for the release under development.
More information about Kerberos may be found at
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/
and at the MIT Kerberos Consortium web site
http://kerberos.org/

Reporting Bugs
--------------
Please report any problems/bugs/comments by sending email to
krb5-bugs@mit.edu.
You may view bug reports by visiting
http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/
and using the "Guest Login" button. Please note that the web
interface to our bug database is read-only for guests, and the primary
way to interact with our bug database is via email.
DES transition
--------------
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak. The
krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away
from using single-DES cryptosystems. Among these is a configuration
variable that enables "weak" enctypes, which defaults to "false"
beginning with krb5-1.8.
Major changes in 1.16.3 (2019-01-07)
------------------------------------
This is a bug fix release.
* Fix a regression in the MEMORY credential cache type which could
cause client programs to crash.
* MEMORY credential caches will not be listed in the global
collection, with the exception of the default credential cache if it
is of type MEMORY.
* Remove an incorrect assertion in the KDC which could be used to
cause a crash [CVE-2018-20217].
krb5-1.16.3 changes by ticket ID
--------------------------------
8720 Don't include all MEMORY ccaches in collection
8767 Remove incorrect KDC assertion
8768 Fix double-close in ksu get_authorized_princ_names
8771 Memory ccache regression in 1.15.4, 1.16.2
Major changes in 1.16.2 (2018-11-01)
------------------------------------
This is a bug fix release.
* Fix bugs with concurrent use of MEMORY ccache handles.
* Fix a KDC crash when falling back between multiple OTP tokens
configured for a principal entry.
* Fix memory bugs when gss_add_cred() is used to create a new
credential, and fix a bug where it ignores the desired_name.
* Fix the behavior of gss_inquire_cred_by_mech() when the credential
does not contain an element of the requested mechanism.
* Make cross-realm S4U2Self requests work on the client when no
default_realm is configured.
* Add a kerberos(7) man page containing documentation of the
environment variables that affect Kerberos programs.

Major changes in 1.16.1 (2018-05-03)
------------------------------------
This is a bug fix release.
* Fix flaws in LDAP DN checking, including a null dereference KDC
crash which could be triggered by kadmin clients with administrative
privileges [CVE-2018-5729, CVE-2018-5730].
* Fix a KDC PKINIT memory leak.
* Fix a small KDC memory leak on transited or authdata errors when
processing TGS requests.
* Fix a regression in pkinit_cert_match matching of client
certificates containing Microsoft UPN SANs.

* Fix "kdestroy -A" with the KCM credential cache type.
* Allow validation of Microsoft PACs containing enterprise names.
* Fix the handling of capaths "." values.

subsection).

8675 Set error message on KCM get_princ failure
Major changes in 1.16 (2017-12-05)
----------------------------------
Administrator experience:
* The KDC can match PKINIT client certificates against the
"pkinit_cert_match" string attribute on the client principal entry,
using the same syntax as the existing "pkinit_cert_match" profile
option.
* The ktutil addent command supports the "-k 0" option to ignore the
key version, and the "-s" option to use a non-default salt string.
* kpropd supports a --pid-file option to write a pid file at startup,
when it is run in standalone mode.
* The "encrypted_challenge_indicator" realm option can be used to
attach an authentication indicator to tickets obtained using FAST
encrypted challenge pre-authentication.
* Localization support can be disabled at build time with the
--disable-nls configure option.
Developer experience:
* The kdcpolicy pluggable interface allows modules control whether
tickets are issued by the KDC.
* The kadm5_auth pluggable interface allows modules to control whether
kadmind grants access to a kadmin request.
* The certauth pluggable interface allows modules to control which
PKINIT client certificates can authenticate to which client
principals.
* KDB modules can use the client and KDC interface IP addresses to
determine whether to allow an AS request.
* GSS applications can query the bit strength of a krb5 GSS context
using the GSS_C_SEC_CONTEXT_SASL_SSF OID with
gss_inquire_sec_context_by_oid().
* GSS applications can query the impersonator name of a krb5 GSS
credential using the GSS_KRB5_GET_CRED_IMPERSONATOR OID with
gss_inquire_cred_by_oid().
* kdcpreauth modules can query the KDC for the canonicalized requested
client principal name, or match a principal name against the
requested client principal name with canonicalization.
Protocol evolution:
* The client library will continue to try pre-authentication
mechanisms after most failure conditions.
* The KDC will issue trivially renewable tickets (where the renewable
lifetime is equal to or less than the ticket lifetime) if requested
by the client, to be friendlier to scripts.
* The client library will use a random nonce for TGS requests instead
of the current system time.
* For the RC4 string-to-key or PAC operations, UTF-16 is supported
(previously only UCS-2 was supported).
* When matching PKINIT client certificates, UPN SANs will be matched
correctly as UPNs, with canonicalization.
User experience:
* Dates after the year 2038 are accepted (provided that the platform
time facilities support them), through the year 2106.
* Automatic credential cache selection based on the client realm will
take into account the fallback realm and the service hostname.
* Referral and alternate cross-realm TGTs will not be cached, avoiding
some scenarios where they can be added to the credential cache
multiple times.
* A German translation has been added.
Code quality:
* The build is warning-clean under clang with the configured warning
options.
* The automated test suite runs cleanly under AddressSanitizer.
