Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50537
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:056 (krb5)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to krb5
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:056.

Multiple buffer overflows exist in the krb5_aname_to_localname()
library function that if exploited could lead to unauthorized root
privileges. In order to exploit this flaw, an attacker must first
successfully authenticate to a vulnerable service, which must be
configured to enable the explicit mapping or rules-based mapping
functionality of krb5_aname_to_localname, which is not a default
configuration.

Mandrakesoft encourages all users to upgrade to these patched krb5
packages.

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
