Is anybody planning to update the base system heimdal, which has been largely untouched since May 2008? In addition to the many other bug-fixes and improvements in the current version 1.3.3 (see, for example: http://www.h5l.org/releases.html ), there are patches for heimdal vulnerabilities 2010-05-27 and 2010-03-21 (CVE-2010-1321), which are described at: http://www.h5l.org/advisories.html Others have mentioned that they have problems using our base system heimdal -- problems that cannot be easily circumvented by rebuilding WITHOUT_KERBEROS, and using security/krb5 (security/heimdal is badly outdated), because this leaves various dependent base system utilities behind, if they are not modified. Regards, b.
