 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2007:239
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : heimdal
 Date    : December 6, 2007
 Affected: Corporate 4.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 It was found that the gss_userok() function in Heimdal 0.7.2 did not
 allocate memory for the ticketfile pointer before calling free(), which
 could possibly allow remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an
 invalid username.  It is uncertain whether or not this is exploitable,
 however packages are being provided regardless.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
