Category:	CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:	CentOS Update for krb5-devel CESA-2016:0493 centos6
Summary:	Check the version of krb5-devel
Description:	Summary: Check the version of krb5-devel Vulnerability Insight: Kerberos is a networked authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, the Kerberos KDC. A memory leak flaw was found in the krb5_unparse_name() function of the MIT Kerberos kadmind service. An authenticated attacker could repeatedly send specially crafted requests to the server, which could cause the server to consume large amounts of memory resources, ultimately leading to a denial of service due to memory exhaustion. (CVE-2015-8631) An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the kadmind service of MIT Kerberos. An authenticated attacker could send a maliciously crafted message to force kadmind to read beyond the end of allocated memory, and write the memory contents to the KDC database if the attacker has write permission, leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2015-8629) The CVE-2015-8631 issue was discovered by Simo Sorce of Red Hat. All krb5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the updated packages, running Kerberos services (krb5kdc, kadmin, and kprop) will be restarted automatically. Affected Software/OS: krb5-devel on CentOS 6 Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 4.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
