DES transition
==============
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak. The
krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away
- From using single-DES cryptosystems. Among these is a configuration
variable that enables "weak" enctypes, which defaults to "false"
beginning with krb5-1.8.
Major changes in 1.10.2
=======================
This is a bugfix release.
* Fix an interop issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Read-Only Domain
Controllers.
* Update a workaround for a glibc bug that would cause DNS PTR queries
to occur even when rdns = false.
* Fix a kadmind denial of service issue (null pointer dereference),
which could only be triggered by an administrator with the "create"
privilege. [CVE-2012-1013]
