Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2013-10841
2013-06-14 22:42:46
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : krb5
Product : Fedora 19
Version : 1.11.3
Release : 2.fc19
URL :
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
Summary : The Kerberos network authentication system
Description :
Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system,
which can improve your network's security by eliminating the insecure
practice of sending passwords over the network in unencrypted form.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update teaches libkrb5 to attempt to create the /run/user/0 directory when attempting
to access a directory-based ("DIR:") credential cache in a subdirectory of that
location when the directory does not yet exist.
While this may allow credentials to be stored in and read from that location in some cases
where they couldn't be before, it does not cooperate with logind, so this does not
represent a complete fix for bug #961235. On systems which require the directory to be
present in a dependable fashion, loginctl(1) should be used to enable lingering for the
root user.

ChangeLog:
* Thu Jun 13 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin(a)redhat.com> 1.11.3-2
- special-case /run/user/0, attempting to create it when resolving a
directory cache below it fails due to ENOENT and we find that it doesn't
already exist, either, before attempting to create the directory cache
(maybe helping, maybe just making things more confusing for #961235)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
