New Minimum MIT Krb5 version for Samba AD Domain Controller
-----------------------------------------------------------
Samba now requires MIT 1.21 when built against a system MIT Krb5 and
acting as an Active Directory DC. This addresses the issues that were
fixed in CVE-2022-37967 (KrbtgtFullPacSignature) and ensures that
Samba builds against the MIT version that allows us to avoid that
attack.
2023-07-18 00:53:26 +03:00
Removed dependency on Perl JSON module
--------------------------------------
Distributions are advised that the Perl JSON package is no longer
required by Samba builds that use the imported Heimdal. The build
instead uses Perl's JSON::PP built into recent perl5 versions.
Current lists of packages required by Samba for major distributions
are found in the bootstrap/generated-dists/ directory of a Samba
source tree. While there will be some differences - due to features
chosen by packagers - comparing these lists with the build dependencies
in a package may locate other dependencies we no longer require.
