The majority of these patches were inspired from FreeBSD's ports. FreeBSD, along with at least Debian, have removed Kerberos4 due to secuity concerns. From: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb4-end-of-life.html : "Serious protocol flaws[2] have been found in Kerberos 4. These flaws permit attacks which require far less effort than an exhaustive search of the DES key space. These flaws make Kerberos 4 cross-realm authentication an unacceptable security risk and raise serious questions about the security of the entire Kerberos 4 protocol. The known insecurity of DES, combined with the recently discovered protocol flaws, make it extremely inadvisable to rely on the security of version 4 of the Kerberos protocol. These factors motivate the MIT Kerberos Team to remove support for Kerberos version 4 from the MIT implementation of Kerberos." This end-of-life announcement is dated 19 October 2006. I think it's a good question to ask why this package and the packages that depend on it are still in pkgsrc. |
