Title:	RedHat Update for krb5 RHSA-2011:0447-01
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a trusted third-party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC). An invalid free flaw was found in the password-changing capability of the MIT Kerberos administration daemon, kadmind. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause kadmind to abort via a specially-crafted request. (CVE-2011-0285) All krb5 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the kadmind daemon will be restarted automatically. Affected Software/OS: krb5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
