Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50569
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:088 (krb5)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to krb5
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:088.

A double-free vulnerability exists in the MIT Kerberos 5's KDC program
that could potentially allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
code on the KDC host. As well, multiple double-free vulnerabilities
exist in the krb5 library code, which makes client programs and
application servers vulnerable. The MIT Kerberos 5 development team
believes that exploitation of these bugs would be difficult and no
known vulnerabilities are believed to exist. The vulnerability in
krb524d was discovered by Marc Horowitz
the other double-free
vulnerabilities were discovered by Will Fiveash and Nico Williams at
Sun.

Will Fiveash and Nico Williams also found another vulnerability in the
ASN.1 decoder library. This makes krb5 vulnerable to a DoS (Denial of
Service) attack causing an infinite loop in the decoder. The KDC is
vulnerable to this attack.

The MIT Kerberos 5 team has provided patches which have been applied
to the updated software to fix these issues. Mandrakesoft encourages
all users to upgrade immediately.

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.
