115 - CVE-2021-44758 NULL dereference DoS in SPNEGO acceptors
117 - CVE-2022-44640 Heimdal KDC: invalid free in ASN.1 codec
119 This is a 10.0 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v3.
121 Heimdal's ASN.1 compiler generates code that allows specially
122 crafted DER encodings of CHOICEs to invoke the wrong free function
123 on the decoded structure upon decode error. This is known to impact
124 the Heimdal KDC, leading to an invalid free() of an address partly
125 or wholly under the control of the attacker, in turn leading to a
126 potential remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.
128 This error affects the DER codec for all CHOICE types used in
129 Heimdal, though not all cases will be exploitable. We have not
130 completed a thorough analysis of all the Heimdal components
131 affected, thus the Kerberos client, the X.509 library, and other
132 parts, may be affected as well.
134 This bug has been in Heimdal since 2005. It was first reported by
135 Douglas Bagnall, though it had been found independently by the
136 Heimdal maintainers via fuzzing.
138 While no zero-day exploit is known, such an exploit will likely be
139 available soon after public disclosure.
141 - Errors found by the LLVM scan-build static analyzer.
143 - Errors found by the valgrind memory debugger.
145 - Work around GCC Bug 95189 (memcmp wrongly stripped like strcmp).
147 - Fix Unicode normalization read of 1 bytes past end of array.
149 - Correct ASN.1 OID typo for SHA-384
151 - Fix a deadlock in in the MEMORY ccache type.
153 - TGS: strip forwardable and proxiable flags if the server is
156 - CVE-2019-14870: Validate client attributes in protocol-transition
157 - CVE-2019-14870: Apply forwardable policy in protocol-transition
158 - CVE-2019-14870: Always lookup impersonate client in DB
160 - Incremental HDB propagation improvements
162 - Refactor send_diffs making it progressive
163 - Handle partial writes on non-blocking sockets
164 - Disable Nagle in iprop master and slave
166 - Don't send I_HAVE in response to AYT
167 - Do not recover log in kadm5_get_principal()
168 - Don't send diffs to slaves with not yet known version
169 - Don't stutter in send_diffs
171 - Optional backwards-compatible anon-pkinit behaviour
173 Release Notes - Heimdal - Version Heimdal 7.7
177 - PKCS#11 hcrypto back-end
178 . initialize the p11_module_load function list
179 . verify that not only is a mechanism present but that its mechanism
180 info states that it offers the required encryption, decryption or
183 . Starting with 7.6, Heimdal permitted requesting authenticated
184 anonymous tickets. However, it did not verify that a KDC in fact
185 returned an anonymous ticket when one was requested.
186 - Cease setting the KDCOption reaquest_anonymous flag when issuing
187 S4UProxy (constrained delegation) TGS requests.
188 . when the Win2K PKINIT compatibility option is set, do
189 not require krbtgt otherName to match when validating KDC
191 . set PKINIT_BTMM flag per Apple implementation
192 . use memset_s() instead of memset()
194 . When generating KRB5SignedPath in the AS, use the reply client name
195 rather than the one from the request, so validation will work
196 correctly in the TGS.
197 . allow checksum of PA-FOR-USER to be HMAC_MD5. Even if tgt used
198 an enctype with a different checksum. Per [MS-SFU] 2.2.1
199 PA-FOR-USER the checksum is always HMAC_MD5, and that's what
200 Windows and MIT clients send.
202 In heimdal both the client and kdc use instead the
203 checksum of the tgt, and therefore work with each other
204 but Windows and MIT clients fail against heimdal KDC.
206 Both Windows and MIT KDCs would allow any keyed checksum
207 to be used so Heimdal client interoperates with them.
209 Change Heimdal KDC to allow HMAC_MD5 even for non RC4
210 based tgt in order to support per-spec clients.
211 . use memset_s() instead of memset().
212 - Detect Heimdal 1.0 through 7.6 clients that issue S4UProxy
213 (constrained delegation) TGS Requests with the request
214 anonymous flag set. These requests will be treated as
215 S4UProxy requests and not anonymous requests.
217 . Set SQLite3 backend default page size to 8KB.
218 . Add hdb_set_sync() method
220 . disable HDB sync during database load avoiding unnecessary disk i/o.
222 . disable HDB sync during receive_everything. Doing an fsync
223 per-record when receiving the complete HDB is a performance
224 disaster. Among other things, if the HDB is very large, then
225 one slave receving a full HDB can cause other slaves to timeout
226 and, if HDB write activity is high enough to cause iprop log
227 truncation, then also need full syncs, which leads to a cycle of
228 full syncs for all slaves until HDB write activity drops.
229 Allowing the iprop log to be larger helps, but improving
230 receive_everything() performance helps even more.
232 . Anonymous PKINIT tickets discard the realm information used
233 to locate the issuing AS. Store the issuing realm in the
234 credentials cache in order to locate a KDC which can renew them.
235 . Do not leak the result of krb5_cc_get_config() when determining
236 anonymous PKINIT start realm.
238 . Show transited-policy-checked, ok-as-delegate and anonymous
239 flags when listing credentials.
241 . Regenerate certs so that they expire before the 2038 armageddon
242 so the test suite will pass on 32-bit operating systems until the
243 underlying issues can be resolved.
245 . Define _STDC_C11_BCI for memset_s prototype
247 . Convert from python 2 to python 3
249 . rename verify-password to verify-password-quality
250 . hprop default mode is encrypt
251 . kadmind "all" permission does not include "get-keys"
252 . verify-password-quality might not be stateless
254 Release Notes - Heimdal - Version Heimdal 7.6
258 - CVE-2018-16860 Heimdal KDC: Reject PA-S4U2Self with unkeyed checksum
260 When the Heimdal KDC checks the checksum that is placed on the
261 S4U2Self packet by the server to protect the requested principal
262 against modification, it does not confirm that the checksum
263 algorithm that protects the user name (principal) in the request
264 is keyed. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker who can
265 intercept the request to the KDC to modify the packet by replacing
266 the user name (principal) in the request with any desired user
267 name (principal) that exists in the KDC and replace the checksum
268 protecting that name with a CRC32 checksum (which requires no
269 prior knowledge to compute).
271 This would allow a S4U2Self ticket requested on behalf of user
272 name (principal) user@EXAMPLE.COM to any service to be changed
273 to a S4U2Self ticket with a user name (principal) of
274 Administrator@EXAMPLE.COM. This ticket would then contain the
275 PAC of the modified user name (principal).
277 - CVE-2019-12098, client-only:
279 RFC8062 Section 7 requires verification of the PA-PKINIT-KX key excahnge
280 when anonymous PKINIT is used. Failure to do so can permit an active
281 attacker to become a man-in-the-middle.
285 - Happy eyeballs: Don't wait for responses from known-unreachable KDCs.
286 - kdc: check return copy_Realm, copy_PrincipalName, copy_EncryptionKey
288 . cleanup temporary ccaches
289 . see man page for "kinit --anonymous" command line syntax change
290 - kdc: Make anonymous AS-requests more RFC8062-compliant.
291 - Updated expired test certificates
293 . PKCS#11 hcrypto backend broken since 7.0.1
294 . Building with Sun Pro C
298 - kuser: support authenticated anonymous AS-REQs in kinit
299 - kdc: support for anonymous TGS-REQs
300 - kgetcred support for anonymous service tickets
301 - Support builds with OpenSSL 1.1.1
303 Release Notes - Heimdal - Version Heimdal 7.5
307 - Fix CVE-2017-17439, which is a remote denial of service
310 In Heimdal 7.1 through 7.4, remote unauthenticated attackers
311 are able to crash the KDC by sending a crafted UDP packet
312 containing empty data fields for client name or realm.
316 - Handle long input lines when reloading database dumps.
318 - In pre-forked mode (default on Unix), correctly clear
319 the process ids of exited children, allowing new child processes
322 - Fixed incorrect KDC response when no-cross realm TGT exists,
323 allowing client requests to fail quickly rather than time
324 out after trying to get a correct answer from each KDC.
326 Release Notes - Heimdal - Version Heimdal 7.4
330 - Fix CVE-2017-11103: Orpheus' Lyre KDC-REP service name validation
332 This is a critical vulnerability.
334 In _krb5_extract_ticket() the KDC-REP service name must be obtained from
335 encrypted version stored in 'enc_part' instead of the unencrypted version
336 stored in 'ticket'. Use of the unecrypted version provides an
337 opportunity for successful server impersonation and other attacks.
339 Identified by Jeffrey Altman, Viktor Duchovni and Nico Williams.
341 See https://www.orpheus-lyre.info/ for more details.
343 Release Notes - Heimdal - Version Heimdal 7.3
347 - Fix transit path validation. Commit f469fc6 (2010-10-02) inadvertently
348 caused the previous hop realm to not be added to the transit path
349 of issued tickets. This may, in some cases, enable bypass of capath
350 policy in Heimdal versions 1.5 through 7.2.
352 Note, this may break sites that rely on the bug. With the bug some
353 incomplete [capaths] worked, that should not have. These may now break
354 authentication in some cross-realm configurations.
