A krb5 update has been released for Fedora Core 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-552
2005-07-12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : krb5
Version : 1.3.6
Release : 7
Summary : The Kerberos network authentication system.
Description :
Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system, which can improve your network's security by eliminating the insecure practice of cleartext passwords.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
A double-free flaw was found in the krb5_recvauth() routine which may be triggered by a remote unauthenticated attacker. Fedora Core 3 contains checks within glibc that detect double-free flaws. Therefore, on Fedora Core , successful exploitation of this issue can only lead to a denial of service (KDC crash). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CAN-2005-1689 to this issue.
Daniel Wachdorf discovered a single byte heap overflow in the krb5_unparse_name() function, part of krb5-libs. Successful exploitation of this flaw would lead to a denial of service (crash). To trigger this flaw remotely, an attacker would need to have control of a kerberos realm that shares a cross-realm key with the target, making exploitation of this flaw unlikely. (CAN-2005-1175).
Daniel Wachdorf also discovered that in error conditions that may occur in response to correctly-formatted client requests, the Kerberos 5 KDC may attempt to free uninitialized memory. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (KDC crash) (CAN-2005-1174).
Gaël Delalleau discovered an information disclosure issue in the way some telnet clients handle messages from a server. An attacker could construct a malicious telnet server that collects information from the environment of any victim who connects to it using the Kerberos-aware telnet client (CAN-2005-0488).
The rcp protocol allows a server to instruct a client to write to arbitrary files outside of the current directory. This could potentially cause a security issue if a user uses the Kerberos-aware rcp to copy files from a malicious server (CAN-2004-0175).
