Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.58.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-58-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5' package(s) announced via the USN-58-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5' package(s) announced via the USN-58-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Michael Tautschnig discovered a possible buffer overflow in the
add_to_history() function in the MIT Kerberos 5 implementation.
Performing a password change did not properly track the password
policy's history count and the maximum number of keys. This could
cause an array overflow and may have allowed authenticated users (not
necessarily one with administrative privileges) to execute arbitrary
code on the KDC host, compromising an entire Kerberos realm.

Affected Software/OS:
'krb5' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.2
