4.213. xmlrpc-c

As a solution to a security issue, GSSAPI (Generic Security Services Application Program Interface) credential delegation was disabled in the libcurl library. As a consequence, applications using the xmlrpc-c package and relying on the delegation exhibited various issues and did not work properly. With this update, the GSSAPI_DELEGATION option has been introduced into xmlrpc-c in order to enable the credential delegation explicitly when applications need it.

Prior to this update, the Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSSAPI) credential delegation was disabled. As a consequence, applications using the xmlrpc-c package and relying on the delegation exhibited various issues and did not work as expected. This update adds the analogous GSSAPI_DELEGATION to xmlrpc-c to allow for credential delegation when applications need it.
