Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:209 (pam_krb5)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to pam_krb5
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:209.

Stéphane Bertin discovered a flaw in the pam_krb5 existing_ticket
configuration option where, if enabled and using an existing credential
cache, it was possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges
by using a different, local user's credential cache (CVE-2008-3825).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.

Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, 2008.1

Solution:

of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
