Documentation
-------------
Unified documentation for Kerberos V5 is available in both HTML and
PDF formats. The table of contents of the HTML format documentation
is at doc/html/index.html, and the PDF format documentation is in the
doc/pdf directory.
Additionally, you may find copies of the HTML format documentation
online at
https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-latest/doc/
for the most recent supported release, or at
https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/
for the release under development.
More information about Kerberos may be found at

PAC transitions
---------------
Beginning with release 1.20, the KDC will include minimal PACs in
tickets instead of AD-SIGNEDPATH authdata. S4U requests (protocol
transition and constrained delegation) must now contain valid PACs in
the incoming tickets. Beginning with release 1.21, service ticket
PACs will contain a new KDC checksum buffer, to mitigate a hash
collision attack against the old KDC checksum. If only some KDCs in a
realm have been upgraded across versions 1.20 or 1.21, the upgraded
KDCs will reject S4U requests containing tickets from non-upgraded
KDCs and vice versa.
Triple-DES and RC4 transitions
------------------------------
Beginning with the krb5-1.21 release, the KDC will not issue tickets
with triple-DES or RC4 session keys unless explicitly configured using
the new allow_des3 and allow_rc4 variables in [libdefaults]. To
facilitate the negotiation of session keys, the KDC will assume that
all services can handle aes256-sha1 session keys unless the service
principal has a session_enctypes string attribute.
Beginning with the krb5-1.19 release, a warning will be issued if
initial credentials are acquired using the des3-cbc-sha1 encryption
type. Beginning with the krb5-1.21 release, a warning will also be
issued for the arcfour-hmac encryption type. In future releases,
these encryption types will be disabled by default and eventually
removed.
Beginning with the krb5-1.18 release, all support for single-DES
encryption types has been removed.
Major changes in 1.21.1 (2023-07-10)
------------------------------------
This is a bug fix release.
* Fix potential uninitialized pointer free in kadm5 XDR parsing
[CVE-2023-36054].
krb5-1.21.1 changes by ticket ID
--------------------------------
9099 Ensure array count consistency in kadm5 RPC
Major changes in 1.21 (2023-06-05)
----------------------------------
User experience:
* Added a credential cache type providing compatibility with the macOS
11 native credential cache.
Developer experience:
* libkadm5 will use the provided krb5_context object to read
configuration values, instead of creating its own.
* Added an interface to retrieve the ticket session key from a GSS
context.
Protocol evolution:
* The KDC will no longer issue tickets with RC4 or triple-DES session
keys unless explicitly configured with the new allow_rc4 or
allow_des3 variables respectively.
* The KDC will assume that all services can handle aes256-sha1 session
keys unless the service principal has a session_enctypes string
attribute.
* Support for PAC full KDC checksums has been added to mitigate an
S4U2Proxy privilege escalation attack.
* The PKINIT client will advertise a more modern set of supported CMS
algorithms.
Code quality:
* Removed unused code in libkrb5, libkrb5support, and the PKINIT
module.
* Modernized the KDC code for processing TGS requests, the code for
encrypting and decrypting key data, the PAC handling code, and the
GSS library packet parsing and composition code.
* Improved the test framework's detection of memory errors in daemon
processes when used with asan.
