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-r3 >= 1.5.2-r3 Description =========== kadmind is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the RPC library shipped with MIT Kerberos 5. It fails to properly handle zero-length RPC credentials (CVE-2007-2442) and the RPC library can write past the end of the stack buffer (CVE-2007-2443). Furthermore kadmind fails to do proper bounds checking (CVE-2007-2798). Impact ====== A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities 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-r3" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-2442 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2442 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-2443 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2443 [ 3 ] CVE-2007-2798 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2798 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200707-11.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
