      The latest investigations indicate that this problem is caused by the generalization of the Message-Authenticator attribute to sign RADIUS access requests and responses which is part of the mitigation of the BlastRADIUS vulnerability (CVE-2024-3596).

      The mitigation of this vulnerability is part of a larger plan to fix various weaknesses in the RADIUS protocol: draft-ietf-radext-deprecating-radius-03.

      MIT krb5 includes a partial implementation of RADIUS protocol (RFC2865), but has no support for Message-Authenticator. This causes all RADIUS request from the KDC to the RADIUS server to be rejected, which breaks passwordless setups.

      Support for Message-Authenticator has to be implemented in MIT krb5's libkrad to allow the KDC to generate valid access requests.
