Is anybody planning to update the base system heimdal, which has been
largely untouched since May 2008?  In addition to the many other
bug-fixes and improvements in the current version 1.3.3 (see, for
example:

http://www.h5l.org/releases.html

), there are patches for heimdal vulnerabilities 2010-05-27 and
2010-03-21 (CVE-2010-1321), which are described at:

http://www.h5l.org/advisories.html

Others have mentioned that they have problems using our base system
heimdal -- problems that cannot be easily circumvented by rebuilding
WITHOUT_KERBEROS, and using security/krb5 (security/heimdal is badly
outdated), because this leaves various dependent base system utilities
behind, if they are not modified.

Regards,
                b.
