Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0907
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2008:0907. The pam_krb5 module allows Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) aware applications to use Kerberos to verify user identities by obtaining user credentials at log in time. A flaw was found in the pam_krb5 existing_ticket configuration option. If a system is configured to use an existing credential cache via the existing_ticket option, it may be possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges by using a different, local user's credential cache. (CVE-2008-3825) Red Hat would like to thank Stéphane Bertin for responsibly disclosing this issue. Users of pam_krb5 should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0907.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderate Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.4
