Name : krb5
Product : Fedora 20
Version : 1.11.3
Release : 29.fc20
URL : http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/

Update Information:
This update incorporates a backported fix to make libgssapi_krb5's credential import routines work better, which is needed by newer versions of gssproxy, and corrects a packaging error which resulted in the /etc/gss directory not being owned by any packages. Further, it incorporates a fix for a possible remotely-triggered crash in KDCs which are configured to serve multiple realms at once (CVE-2013-1418).
