Its main focus is on cards that support cryptographic operations, and
facilitate their use in security applications such as mail encryption,
authentication, and digital signature. OpenSC implements the PKCS#11 API
so applications supporting this API such as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird
can use it. OpenSC implements the PKCS#15 standard and aims to be compatible
with every software that does so, too.
format for PC/SC-Lite, as CT-API driver, or as a small and lean middleware,
so applications can use it with minimal overhead. OpenCT also has a primitive
mechanism to export smart card readers to remote machines via TCP/IP.
Update dependency to security/p5-Net-SSLeay to 1.33 as notes in modules
META.yml
Upstream Changes:
v1.23 2009.02.23
- if neither SSL_ca_file nor SSL_ca_path are known (e.g not given and the
default values have no existing file|path) disable checking of
certificates, but carp about the problem
- new test certificates, the old ones expired and caused tests to fail
0.12
Made Cyrus.xs more compatible with Perl API by changing function calls
like Perl_warn() to just warn(), and defining PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT.
Made SASL properties which take an IP address and load it into the SASL
library more robust by determining if the passed address is in
"struct sockaddr" format or in "IP1.IP2.IP3.IP4;PORT" format.
Fixed passing of "function + params" as a callback.
0.11
Fixed t/callback.t to NOT try connecting to the LDAP server
on localhost since that, well, doesn't work at Pause.
0.10
Added better callback management, Perl memory management,
and three test scripts, as written by Ulrich Pfeifer.
0.09
Changed securesocket GLOB, as suggested by Marius Tomaschewski.
Extended SASL2 support.
0.08
Changed the "code" routine to return the result code of the
last SASL library call. This allows differentiation of the
result of the client_step returning a zero byte string vs.
it saying authentication is complete.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Adjust dependencies according to module requirements (added p5-Crypt-IDEA)
Upstream changes:
1.34 2009.02.01
- Rekey properly after 1 GB of data (rt.cpan.org #25044). Patch by
Peter Oliver.
- Don't try to process nonexistent or empty auth file (rt.cpan.org #41877).
- Fix typo in croak message (rt.cpan.org #42056), thanks to
jamie at audible.transient.net.
- Move 'use base' call after Crypt module loading, per suggestion
(rt.cpan.org #42051).
- Only apply stdin if defined in SSH1 - John Payne (rt.cpan.org #42583)
v1.22 2009.01.24
- Net::SSLeay stores verify callbacks inside hash and never clears them, so
set verify callback to NULL in destroy of context
v1.21 2009.01.22
- auto verification of name in certificate created circular reference between
SSL and CTX object with the verify_callback, which caused the objects to be
destroyed only at program end. Fix it be no longer access $self from inside
the callback.
Thanks to odenbach[AT]uni-paderborn[DOT]de for reporting
v1.20 2009.01.15
- only changes on test suite to make it ready for win32
(tested with strawberry perl 5.8.8)
* Version 2.6.4 (released 2009-02-06)
** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
<deengert@anl.gov> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
the size of the result. Report by John Brooks <special@dereferenced.net>.
** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
Reported by Tristan Hill <stan@saticed.me.uk>.
** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
"Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
<dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
** libgnutls: Fix compile error with Sun CC.
Reported by Jeff Cai <jeff.cai@sun.com> in
<https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106549>.
The pam_mkhomedir module provides the means for automatic creation of
home directories upon login, if necessary. Key Benefits are:
* Uses the Pluggable Authentication Module API defined in OSF DCE RFC 86.0.
* Removes the need to pre-create user home directories.
The software is distributed under the terms of the 2.5-clause BSD license.

* pkgsrc change: relax restriction to kerberos package.
What's new in Sudo 1.7.0?
* Rewritten parser that converts sudoers into a set of data structures.
This eliminates a number of ordering issues and makes it possible to
apply sudoers Defaults entries before searching for the command.
It also adds support for per-command Defaults specifications.
* Sudoers now supports a #include facility to allow the inclusion of other
sudoers-format files.
* Sudo's -l (list) flag has been enhanced:
o applicable Defaults options are now listed
o a command argument can be specified for testing whether a user
may run a specific command.
o a new -U flag can be used in conjunction with "sudo -l" to allow
root (or a user with "sudo ALL") list another user's privileges.
* A new -g flag has been added to allow the user to specify a
primary group to run the command as. The sudoers syntax has been
extended to include a group section in the Runas specification.
* A uid may now be used anywhere a username is valid.
* The "secure_path" run-time Defaults option has been restored.
* Password and group data is now cached for fast lookups.
* The file descriptor at which sudo starts closing all open files is now
configurable via sudoers and, optionally, the command line.
* Visudo will now warn about aliases that are defined but not used.
* The -i and -s command line flags now take an optional command
to be run via the shell. Previously, the argument was passed
to the shell as a script to run.
* Improved LDAP support. SASL authentication may now be used in
conjunction when connecting to an LDAP server. The krb5_ccname
parameter in ldap.conf may be used to enable Kerberos.
* Support for /etc/nsswitch.conf. LDAP users may now use nsswitch.conf
to specify the sudoers order. E.g.:
sudoers: ldap files
to check LDAP, then /etc/sudoers. The default is "files", even
when LDAP support is compiled in. This differs from sudo 1.6
where LDAP was always consulted first.
* Support for /etc/environment on AIX and Linux. If sudo is run
with the -i flag, the contents of /etc/environment are used to
populate the new environment that is passed to the command being
run.
* If no terminal is available or if the new -A flag is specified,
sudo will use a helper program to read the password if one is
configured. Typically, this is a graphical password prompter
such as ssh-askpass.
* A new Defaults option, "mailfrom" that sets the value of the
"From:" field in the warning/error mail. If unspecified, the
login name of the invoking user is used.
* A new Defaults option, "env_file" that refers to a file containing
environment variables to be set in the command being run.
* A new flag, -n, may be used to indicate that sudo should not
prompt the user for a password and, instead, exit with an error
if authentication is required.
* If sudo needs to prompt for a password and it is unable to disable
echo (and no askpass program is defined), it will refuse to run
unless the "visiblepw" Defaults option has been specified.
* Prior to version 1.7.0, hitting enter/return at the Password: prompt
would exit sudo. In sudo 1.7.0 and beyond, this is treated as
an empty password. To exit sudo, the user must press ^C or ^D
at the prompt.
* visudo will now check the sudoers file owner and mode in -c (check)
mode when the -s (strict) flag is specified.
* Publish GCRY_MODULE_ID_USER and GCRY_MODULE_ID_USER_LAST constants.
This functionality has been in Libgcrypt since 1.3.0.
* MD5 may now be used in non-enforced fips mode.
* Fixed HMAC for SHA-384 and SHA-512 with keys longer than 64 bytes.
* In fips mode, RSA keys are now generated using the X9.31 algorithm
and DSA keys using the FIPS 186-2 algorithm.
* The transient-key flag is now also supported for DSA key
generation. DSA domain parameters may be given as well.
