All versions < 1.20.1 and 1.19.4 are vulnerable. If you've put 119 in your make.conf and rebuilt krb5-1.19.3_1 or 1.19.4 you will be fine. I had to do a bit of digging around but looking at an example from two y ears ago the vuxml syntax seems to support multiple ranges for a single port. > > This means that if you have KRB5_VERSION=119 set in make.conf, you > will get packages that are *not* vulnerable, but `pkg audit` will > claim that they are. This is correct. MIT released patches for 1.20 and 1.19 and within half an hour they released 1.20.1 and 1.19.4. The krb5-120 and krb5-119 branches are fully supported by MIT. vuxml has been fixed. To answer another question not asked here but I'm sure someone will: I typically keep krb5 N-2 -- in this case krb5-118 -- in the tree for a year after N is released for those needing extra time to bring their krb5 up to level. But since 1.18 is no longer supported by MIT and is also vulnerable its expiry date has been accelerated to the end of this month. MIT supports only N and N-1. I'm currently considering reducing this from a year to six months when 1.21 is released. > > -GAWollman > > -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: https://FreeBSD.org NTP: <cy@nwtime.org> Web: https://nwtime.org e^(i*pi)+1=0
