Vulnerability Insight:
Update Information:

This updates the pam_krb5 package from version 2.3.2 to 2.3.5, fixing
CVE-2009-1384: in certain configurations, the password prompt could vary
depending on whether or not the user account was known to the system or the KDC.
It also fixes a bug which prevented password change attempts from working if the
KDC denied requests for password-changing credentials with settings which would
be used for login credentials.

ChangeLog:

* Tue May 26 2009 Nalin Dahyabhai - 2.3.5-1

- catch the case where we pass a NULL initial password into libkrb5 and
it uses our callback to ask us for the password for the user using a
principal name, and reject that (#502602)

- always prompt for a password unless we were told not to (#502602,
CVE-2009-1384)

Solution:
Apply the appropriate updates.

This update can be installed with the yum update program. Use
su -c 'yum update pam_krb5' at the command line.
