FreeBSD-EN-24:08.kerberos Errata Notice
The FreeBSD Project
Topic: Kerberos segfaults when using weak crypto
Category: contrib
Module: heimdal
Announced: 2024-03-28
Affects: FreeBSD 14.0
Corrected: 2024-01-22 15:49:24 UTC (stable/14, 14.0-STABLE)
2024-03-28 05:06:25 UTC (releng/14.0, 14.0-RELEASE-p6)
For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security
Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
branches, and the following sections, please visit
<URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I. Background
FreeBSD includes Heimdal, an implementation of ASN.1/DER, PKIX, and Kerberos.
It uses OpenSSL to provide a number of cryptographic routines.
II. Problem Description
Weak crypto is provided by the openssl "legacy" provider which is not loaded
by default.
III. Impact
Attempting to use weak crypto routines when the legacy provider is not loaded
results in the application crashing.
IV. Workaround
Edit /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf to load the legacy provider unconditionally.
V. Solution
Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security
branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
Perform one of the following:
1) To update your system via a binary patch:
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64 or arm64 platforms,
or the i386 platform on FreeBSD 13, can be updated via the freebsd-update(8)
utility:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
2) To update your system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-24:08/kerberos.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-24:08/kerberos.patch.asc
# gpg --verify kerberos.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
Restart all daemons that use the library, or reboot the system.
VI. Correction details
This issue is corrected as of the corresponding Git commit hash in the
following stable and release branches:
