Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2010:0258
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2010:0258. The pam_krb5 module allows Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) aware applications to use Kerberos to verify user identities by obtaining user credentials at log in time. A flaw was found in pam_krb5. In some non-default configurations (specifically, those where pam_krb5 would be the first module to prompt for a password), the text of the password prompt varied based on whether or not the username provided was a username known to the system. A remote attacker could use this flaw to recognize valid usernames, which would aid a dictionary-based password guess attack. (CVE-2009-1384) Solution: Users of pam_krb5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0258.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#low Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
