krb5 vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - krb5-admin-server - krb5-clients - krb5-doc - krb5-ftpd - krb5-kdc - krb5-rsh-server - krb5-telnetd - krb5-user - libkadm55 - libkrb5-dev - libkrb53 Description : Michael Tautschnig discovered a possible buffer overflow in the add_to_history() function in the MIT Kerberos 5 implementation. Performing a password change did not properly track the password policy's history count and the maximum number of keys. This could cause an array overflow and may have permited authenticated users (not necessarily one with administrative rights) to execute arbitrary code on the KDC host, compromising an entire Kerberos realm. Solution : Upgrade to : - krb5-admin-server-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - krb5-clients-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - krb5-doc-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - krb5-ftpd-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - krb5-kdc-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - krb5-rsh-server-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - krb5-telnetd-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - krb5-user-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libkadm55-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libkrb5-dev-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libkrb53-1.3.4-3ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
