Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-504)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'heimdal' package(s) announced via the DSA-504 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'heimdal' package(s) announced via the DSA-504 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Evgeny Demidov discovered a potential buffer overflow in a Kerberos 4 component of heimdal, a free implementation of Kerberos 5. The problem is present in kadmind, a server for administrative access to the Kerberos database. This problem could perhaps be exploited to cause the daemon to read a negative amount of data which could lead to unexpected behaviour.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.4e-7.woody.9.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your heimdal and related packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'heimdal' package(s) on Debian 3.0.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
