  <summary>Security update for krb5</summary>
  <description>This update for krb5 fixes the following issues:

- CVE-2025-3576: weakness in the MD5 checksum design allows for spoofing of GSSAPI-protected messages that are using
  RC4-HMAC-MD5 (bsc#1241219).

Krb5 as very old protocol supported quite a number of ciphers
that are not longer up to current cryptographic standards.

To avoid problems with those, SUSE has by default now disabled
those alorithms.

The following algorithms have been removed from valid krb5 enctypes:

- des3-cbc-sha1
- arcfour-hmac-md5

To reenable those algorithms, you can use allow options in krb5.conf:

[libdefaults]

allow_des3 = true
allow_rc4 = true

to reenable them.
