This is a security release in order to address CVE-2008-3274

CVE-2008-3274:
                A flaw was found in the Red Hat Enterprise IPA
                installation procedure. The master Kerberos password was
                set up in the LDAP server in such a way that it was
                possible to retrieve the password via an anonymous LDAP
                connection.

Note: the master Kerberos password is used to encrypt keys. This flaw
does not lead to individual keys being exposed.

To solve the issue it is *not* sufficient to simply download and update
the binaries. Instructions to completely patch and resolve the issue are
available here: http://freeipa.org/page/CVE-2008-3274


The complete source code is available for download here:

Binary packages for Fedora 8 and 9 will be available shortly.
