Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56255
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-247-1 (heimdal)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to heimdal announced via advisory USN-247-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: heimdal-servers A privilege escalation flaw has been found in the heimdal rsh (remote shell) server. This allowed an authenticated attacker to overwrite arbitrary files and gain ownership of them. Please note that the heimdal-servers package is not officially supported in Ubuntu (it is in the 'universe' component of the archive). However, this affects you if you use a customized version built from the heimdal source package (which is supported). Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 0.6.2-3ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 0.6.3-7ubuntu1.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 0.6.3-11ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-247-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
