Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0446 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated krb5 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

In any MIT krb5 release with the patches for CVE-2015-2696 applied, an
application which calls gss_export_sec_context() may experience memory
corruption if the context was established using the IAKERB mechanism.
Historically, some vulnerabilities of this nature can be translated
into remote code execution, though the necessary exploits must be
tailored to the individual application and are usually quite
complicated (CVE-2015-2698).

Affected Software/OS:
'krb5' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
8.5
