PACKAGE   : krb5
SUMMARY   : Buffer overflow vulnerability in the Kerberos 4 administration daemon
DATE      : 2002-10-25 20:38:00
ID        : CLA-2002:534

RELEASES  : 8

DESCRIPTION
 The "krb5" packages are MIT's[1] implementation of the Kerberos 5
 authentication protocol. 
 
 There is a buffer overflow vulnerability[2][3] in the Kerberos 4
 remote administration service (kadmind4) that could be used by a
 remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server with root
 privileges.
 
 The daemon which implements this service, kadmind4, is included in
 our krb5-server package, but not used by default. The package
 defaults to using the kadmind daemon, which is not vulnerable to this
 problem. Only administrators who explicitly run kadmind4 will be at
 risk.
 
 The authors released an advisory[2] with a patch which fixes the
 vulnerability. This patch has been applied to the updated packages
 below.


SOLUTION
 All Kerberos users should upgrade their packages immediately.
 
 IMPORTANT: if the kadmind4 daemon is in use, it needs to be manually
 restarted after upgrading the packages.
