Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0119)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0119 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0119 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
MIT Kerberos 5 through 1.13.1 incorrectly expects that a krb5_read_message
data field is represented as a string ending with a '\0' character, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference) via a zero-byte version string or cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds read) by omitting the '\0' character, related to
appl/user_user/server.c and lib/krb5/krb/recvauth.c (CVE-2014-5355).

Affected Software/OS:
'krb5' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
