One particular scenario that fails is when OTP (one time password) is used, as reported. The provided patch is applied upstream and debian testing. [Test Case] Steps to reproduce on zesty, with all services on one machine for simplicity (I suggest to use LXD): a) install the packages from zesty (not the proposed ones yet): $ sudo apt install krb5-kdc krb5-admin-server bind9 When prompted for the realm, choose EXAMPLE.COM When prompted for the KDC and Admin services server address, use the IP of your test machine/container (not localhost or 127.0.0.1) The KDC will fail to start because there is no realm yet, that's not relevant for this bug. b) Edit /etc/krb5.conf and make the following changes: - remove the "default_realm" line from the [libdefaults] section - remove the EXAMPLE.COM realm block from the [realms] section - add "dns_lookup_realm = true" to the [libdefaults] section - add "dns_lookup_kdc = true" to the [libdefaults] section - add "udp_preference_limit = 1" to the [libdefaults] section c) Edit /etc/bind/named.conf.local and add this zone block (for simplicity, we are skipping the reverse zone): zone "example.com" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.example.com"; }; d) Create /etc/bind/db.example.com with this content: $TTL 604800 @ IN SOA example.com. ubuntu.example.com. ( 1 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS zesty-bug1683237.example.com. zesty-bug1683237 IN A 10.0.100.249 _kerberos TXT "EXAMPLE.COM" _kerberos._udp SRV 0 0 88 zesty-bug1683237 _kerberos._tcp SRV 0 0 88 zesty-bug1683237 _kerberos-master._udp SRV 0 0 88 zesty-bug1683237 _kerberos-master._tcp SRV 0 0 88 zesty-bug1683237 _kerberos-adm._tcp SRV 0 0 749 zesty-bug1683237 _kpasswd._udp SRV 0 0 464 zesty-bug1683237 Use the real IP of your test machine/container where I used "10.0.100.249". You can also choose another hostname if you want, just be consistent across the board. I chose "zesty-bug1683237". e) Restart bind $ sudo service bind9 restart f) Do a few quick DNS tests: $ dig +short @10.0.100.249 zesty-bug1683237.example.com 10.0.100.249 $ dig +short @10.0.100.249 -t TXT _kerberos.example.com "EXAMPLE.COM" $ dig +short @10.0.100.249 -t SRV _kerberos._udp.example.com 0 0 88 zesty-bug1683237.example.com. $ dig +short @10.0.100.249 -t SRV _kerberos._tcp.example.com 0 0 88 zesty-bug1683237.example.com. g) Edit /etc/resolv.conf, ignoring the warning since we are not going to reboot or change network interfaces: nameserver 10.0.100.249 # USE YOUR IP HERE search example.com h) Create the EXAMPLE.COM kerberos realm: $ sudo krb5_newrealm When prompted for a password, use whatever you like. If you get an error about no default realm, then your TXT record in DNS is not working. Retrace your DNS configuration steps. i) Start the kerberos services: $ sudo service krb5-kdc start sudo service krb5-admin-server start j) Create a principal and test it: $ sudo kadmin.local addprinc -pw ubuntu ubuntu $ kinit ubuntu Password for ubu...@example.com: $ klist (...) 05/05/2017 13:10:01 05/05/2017 23:10:01 krbtgt/example....@example.com (...) Now we are ready to test the bug. Given that we have udp_preference_limit = 1 in /etc/krb5.conf, kinit should use TCP instead of UDP. Let's check: $ KRB5_TRACE=/dev/stderr kinit [7609] 1493989890.568980: Getting initial credentials for ubu...@example.com [7609] 1493989890.569904: Sending request (172 bytes) to EXAMPLE.COM [7609] 1493989890.571991: Resolving hostname zesty-bug1683237.example.com. [7609] 1493989890.576853: Sending initial UDP request to dgram 10.0.100.249:88 (...) Uh oh, it's using UDP! With the fixed packages, kinit will use TCP, thus honoring the udp_preference_limit setting: $ KRB5_TRACE=/dev/stderr kinit [14287] 1493990160.760430: Getting initial credentials for ubu...@example.com [14287] 1493990160.761590: Sending request (172 bytes) to EXAMPLE.COM [14287] 1493990160.763783: Resolving hostname zesty-bug1683237.example.com. [14287] 1493990160.767803: Resolving hostname zesty-bug1683237.example.com. [14287] 1493990160.770588: Initiating TCP connection to stream 10.0.100.249:88 [14287] 1493990160.771724: Sending TCP request to stream 10.0.100.249:88 (...) And if udp_preference_limit is removed from /etc/krb5.conf, the updated packages start with UDP again. [Regression Potential] Sites who were inadvertently relying on this bug (by having udp_preference_limit set to a low value but being ignored) will see their clients suddenly switch (correctly) from UDP to TCP when talking to the KDC and could require firewall changes to allow that exchange. == Original description == Zesty is now affected, please see the debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856307 and upstream bug http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=8554 Would it be possible to get 1.15.1 (already released upstream) in zesty/zesty-updates?
