Synopsis
========

Heimdal contains cross-realm vulnerability allowing someone with
control over a realm to impersonate anyone in the cross-realm trust
path.

Background
==========

Heimdal is a free implementation of Kerberos 5.

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

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package            /   Vulnerable   /                  Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     app-crypt/heimdal       <= 0.6.0                         >= 0.6.1

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

Heimdal does not properly perform certain consistency checks for
cross-realm requests, which allows remote attackers with control of a
realm to impersonate others in the cross-realm trust path.

Impact
======

Remote attackers with control of a realm may be able to impersonate
other users in the cross-realm trust path.

Workaround
==========

A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.

Resolution
==========

Heimdal users should upgrade to version 0.6.1 or later:

    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=app-crypt/heimdal-0.6.1"
    # emerge ">=app-crypt/heimdal-0.6.1"
