Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'krb5' package(s) announced via the DSA-3395-2 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in krb5, the MIT implementation of Kerberos. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2015-2695

It was discovered that applications which call gss_inquire_context() on a partially-established SPNEGO context can cause the GSS-API library to read from a pointer using the wrong type, leading to a process crash.

CVE-2015-2696

It was discovered that applications which call gss_inquire_context() on a partially-established IAKERB context can cause the GSS-API library to read from a pointer using the wrong type, leading to a process crash.

CVE-2015-2697

It was discovered that the build_principal_va() function incorrectly handles input strings. An authenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a KDC to crash using a TGS request with a large realm field beginning with a null byte.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u4.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+dfsg-19+deb8u1.

For the testing distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.13.2+dfsg-3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.13.2+dfsg-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 packages.
