Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities in MIT Kerberos 5 could potentially result in
unauthenticated remote root code execution.

Background
==========

MIT Kerberos 5 is a suite of applications that implement the Kerberos
network protocol.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package             /  Vulnerable  /                   Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  app-crypt/mit-krb5     < 1.5.2-r1                     >= 1.5.2-r1


Description
===========

The Kerberos telnet daemon fails to properly handle usernames allowing
unauthorized access to any account (CVE-2007-0956). The Kerberos
administration daemon, the KDC and possibly other applications using
the MIT Kerberos libraries are vulnerable to the following issues. The
krb5_klog_syslog function from the kadm5 library fails to properly
validate input leading to a stack overflow (CVE-2007-0957). The GSS-API
library is vulnerable to a double-free attack (CVE-2007-1216).

Impact
======

By exploiting the telnet vulnerability a remote attacker may obtain
access with root privileges. The remaining vulnerabilities may allow an
authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root
privileges.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.2-r1"
