Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59093
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-408-1 (krb5)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to krb5 announced via advisory USN-408-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Details follow: The server-side portion of Kerberos' RPC library had a memory management flaw which allowed users of that library to call a function pointer located in unallocated memory. By doing specially crafted calls to the kadmind server, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the target computer. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: libkadm55 1.4.3-5ubuntu0.2 libkrb53 1.4.3-5ubuntu0.2 Ubuntu 6.10: libkadm55 1.4.3-9ubuntu1.1 libkrb53 1.4.3-9ubuntu1.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-408-1 Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 9.3
