A new pam-krb5 vulnerabilities update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-719-1 February 12, 2009
libpam-krb5 vulnerabilities
CVE-2009-0360, CVE-2009-0361
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libpam-krb5 3.10-1ubuntu0.8.04.1
Ubuntu 8.10:
libpam-krb5 3.10-1ubuntu0.8.10.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
It was discovered that pam_krb5 parsed environment variables when run with
setuid applications. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to bypass
authentication checks and gain root privileges. (CVE-2009-0360)
Derek Chan discovered that pam_krb5 incorrectly handled refreshing existing
credentials when used with setuid applications. A local attacker could expl=
oit
this to create or overwrite arbitrary files, and possibly gain root privile=
ges.
(CVE-2009-0361)
