Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-340-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'krb5' package(s) announced via the DLA-340-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'krb5' package(s) announced via the DLA-340-1 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-2015-2697 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 oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze10. We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 packages. Affected Software/OS: 'krb5' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
