   * New upstream release.
     - SECURITY (CVE-2009-0360): If invoked in a setuid context, ignore
       user environment variables that specify the local keytab and
       Kerberos configuration.  Protects against a privilege escalation
       vulnerability.
     - SECURITY (CVE-2009-0361): Protect against applications calling
       pam_setcred with PAM_REINITIALIZE_CREDS as root in a setuid
       context.  This API call is designed to reinitialize an existing
       Kerberos ticket cache and therefore trusts the KRB5CCNAME
       environment variable, but in a setuid context, this may allow
       overwriting arbitrary files.
