The MIT Kerberos Team is proud to announce the availability of MIT Kerberos V5 Release 1.0.5. This release is a bug-fix release only; there are no feature enhancements over the 1.0.4 release. The following bugs were fixed:
* A buffer size problem in klogind that was causing some redisplay problems under Irix has been fixed. [krb5-appl/527]
* v4rcp no longer explicitly refers to sys_errlist.
* Buffer overruns have been repaired in ftpd.
* ftpd now no longer has a name collision with the native log_wtmp() function on some platforms.
* A buffer overrun in telnetd has been fixed.
* ksu no longer allows the use of an expired cached ticket. [krb5-clients/545]
* The KDC now checks the length of incoming krb4 packets to avoid overruns.
* The KDC actually returns a valid error packet in cases where it had failed to in the past, which could cause coredumps.
* A logic bug in the gssapi library that caused krb5_gss_wrap_size_limit() to return an incorrect size has been fixed.
* The gssapi library now caches its rcache, preventing a file descriptor leak. [krb5-libs/370]
* Memory leaks, freeing of freed memory, and failure to check the return values of memory-allocating functions have been repaired in the library. [krb5-libs/518]
* The "errno" member a db internal structure has been renamed to avoid conflicting with a macro definition of "errno" in glibc.
* The profile parser has been vastly improved to strip trailing whitespace and provide a real quoting mechanism.
* A goof in the previous fencepost error fix to the pty library has been fixed.
