Our patches are here: http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/kwc/krb5stuff/referrals.html

The page will be updated soon with a patch for 1.4.2, but the 1.3.4 patch applied rather cleanly last night while doing the cvs merge to 1.4.2.

Kevin,

I've been using your referrals patch for about 4 years now and last August I updated our KDC to 1.4.2. So, I had to update the patch as well. Aside from line number changes, I found at least one place where a substantive (though very small) change was required.

In krb5/src/lib/krb5/os/hst_realm.c, in the krbt_get_host_referral_realm function, I changed

    char local_host[MAX_DNS_NAMELEN+1];

to

    char local_host[MAXDNAME];

because, I believe (this is based on my memory now) MAX_DNS_NAMELEN was not defined in this module. I figured that MAXDNAME was large enough to incorporate the size of MAX_DNS_NAMELEN+1, at least to avoid a buffer overflow condition. Of course, I might be wrong and there may very well be a better way to handle this change.

My 1.4.2 KDC has been running (continuously) since early September with no problems.

I didn't sent you my patch updates because initially I was going to 1.4.1 and I needed to incorporate MIT patches SA-2005-002 and SA-2005-003 that came out before 1.4.2 was released and which hit one of the modules that your patch does. So I had to incorporate all 3 patches in that particular module (kdc/do_tgs_req.c, I believe).

But then I decided to go with 1.4.2, so I guess my referrals patch stands on its own. If you like, I can send it to you if you haven't already done
your own update.

Mike
