Package: libapache2-mod-auth-kerb
Version: 4.996-5.0-rc6-1
Severity: important

krb5 1.4.3 has just been uploaded to experimental and will hopefully be
uploaded to unstable soon.  In testing it, I found that mod_auth_kerb
(at least with Apache 2 -- I haven't tested with Apache 1) doesn't work
correctly with 1.4.3 when doing GSSAPI authentication.  The attempted
web page access hangs from the perspective of the browser, and Apache
repeatedly logs the following:

[Tue Nov 22 16:04:42 2005] [debug] src/mod_auth_kerb.c(1322): [client 
171.64.19. 147] kerb_authenticate_user entered with user (NULL) and auth_type 
Kerberos

[Tue Nov 22 16:04:42 2005] [debug] src/mod_auth_kerb.c(1168): [client 
171.64.19. 147] Verification returned code 851968
[Tue Nov 22 16:04:42 2005] [error] [client 171.64.19.147] 
gss_accept_sec_context() failed: Miscellaneous failure (Request is a replay)

Those log messages repeat until I press stop in the browser.  Downgrading
the libraries to 1.3 causes the module to start working again.

My guess is that mod_auth_kerb is violating some assumption made in the
Kerberos libraries, but I've not had a chance to investigate more completely
yet.  I hope to over the next few days.  I'd like to get this fixed before
1.4.3 goes into unstable, for obvious reasons.
