krb5-strength 3.2 released

[Russ Allbery]

I'm pleased to announce release 3.2 of krb5-strength.

krb5-strength provides a password quality plugin for the MIT Kerberos KDC
(specifically the kadmind server) and Heimdal KDC, an external password
quality program for use with Heimdal, and a per-principal password history
implementation for Heimdal.  Passwords can be tested with CrackLib,
checked against a CDB or SQLite database of known weak passwords with some
transformations, checked for length, checked for non-printable or
non-ASCII characters that may be difficult to enter reproducibly, required
to contain particular character classes, or any combination of these
tests.

Changes from previous release:

    Add new -c (--check-only) option to heimdal-history to check whether a
    password would be accepted without updating the history or password
    length databases.  Based on work by macrotex.

    Increase hash iterations for heimdal-history by roughly a factor of
    four to increase the time required for a password hash to about 0.1
    seconds on modern hardware.  This will affect newly-stored history
    entries but will not invalidate existing password history entries.

    Support building without CrackLib support by passing
    --without-cracklib to configure.  This makes the code a bit simpler
    and lighter if you don't intend to ever use the CrackLib support.

    krb5-strength-wordlist now requires Perl 5.010 or later.

    Use explicit_bzero instead of memset, where available, to overwrite
    copies of passwords before freeing memory.  This reduces the lifetime
    of passwords in memory.

    Skip tests that require the stronger rule configuration in the
    embedded CrackLib when built against system CrackLib.  This avoids
    test failures when built with system CrackLib.

    Rework the check-valgrind target to use the new C TAP Harness valgrind
    support and automatically check the valgrind log files for errors at
    the end of the test suite.

    Add SPDX-License-Identifier headers to all substantial source files
    other than those in the bundled version of CrackLib.

    Update to rra-c-util 8.2:

    * Implement explicit_bzero with memset if it is not available.
    * Reformat all C source using clang-format 10.
    * Work around Test::Strict not skipping .git directories.
    * Fix warnings with perltidy 20190601 and Perl::Critic 1.134.
    * Improve check for obsolete strings.
    * Use a more standard all-permissive license.
    * Add SPDX-License-Identifier headers to all substantial source files.
    * Skip more build system files when running the test suite.
    * Fix warnings with Clang 10, GCC 10, and the Clang static analyzer.
    * Exclude more valgrind false positives with Kerberos libraries.
    * Improve support for AIX's bundled Kerberos.

    Update to C TAP Harness 4.7:

    * Fix warnings with GCC 10.
    * Reformat all C source using clang-format 10.
    * Fixed malloc error checking in bstrndup.
    * Add support for valgrind testing via test list options.
    * Report test failures as left and right, not wanted and seen.
    * Fix is_string comparisons involving NULL pointers and "(null)".
    * Add SPDX-License-Identifier headers to all substantial source files.

page to access the Git repository.

Debian packages will be uploaded to Debian unstable shortly once a Perl
transition clears.

Please let me know of any problems or feature requests not already listed
in the TODO file.
