Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2004-0032

Package name:      kerberos5
Summary:           buffer overflows in krb5_aname_to_localname
Date:              2004-06-02
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
                   Trustix Secure Enterprise Linux 2

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  (MIT) Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to
  provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using
  secret-key cryptography. A free implementation of this protocol is
  available from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kerberos is
  available in many commercial products as well.

Problem description:
  The krb5_aname_to_localname() library function contains multiple
  buffer overflows which could be exploited to gain unauthorized root
  access.  Exploitation of these flaws requires an unusual combination
  of factors, including successful authentication to a vulnerable
  service and a non-default configuration on the target service.  (See
  MITIGATING FACTORS below.)  No exploits are known to exist yet.

Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
  Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
  package, you may want to remove it from your system.
