Fedora Core 4 FEDORA-2006-066 Critical: pam_krb5 Bug Resolves

fedora
Calendar Grey February 14, 2006
Dist Fedora Esm H88
This patch addresses serious issues within pam_krb5 for Fedora Core 4, improving its overall security performance.
This update fixes several bugs which have been found since FC4 was released.

Summary

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.

This update fixes several bugs which have been found since

FC4 was released.

Part of #179037: two of pam_krb5's debug messages are sent

to syslog even when debugging hasn't been enabled

#179130: keytab file descriptor leaked (left open) when

validating credentials

#179131: credentials aren't refreshed when the screen is

unlocked by xscreensaver

#179132: password change at login results in no ccache being

obtained

#179133: account management functionality should be bypassed

when authentication was not performed by pam_krb5
