DSA-520-1 krb5 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment In their advisory MITKRB5-SA-2004-001, the MIT Kerberos announced the existence of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the krb5_aname_to_localname function. This function is only used if aname_to_localname is enabled in the configuration (this is not enabled by default). For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.4-5woody5. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.3-2. We recommend that you update your krb5 package.
