available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3.
This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.
Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and
servers to authenticate to each other through use of symmetric
encryption and a trusted third party, the KDC. kadmind is the KADM5
administration server.
David Coffey discovered an uninitialized pointer free flaw in the RPC
library used by kadmind. A remote unauthenticated attacker who can
access kadmind could trigger this flaw and cause kadmind to crash or
potentially execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2007-2442)
David Coffey also discovered an overflow flaw in the RPC library used
by kadmind. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, exploitation of this flaw is
limited to a denial of service. A remote unauthenticated attacker who
can access kadmind could trigger this flaw and cause kadmind to crash.
(CVE-2007-2443)
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in kadmind. An
authenticated attacker who can access kadmind could trigger this flaw
and potentially execute arbitrary code on the Kerberos server.
(CVE-2007-2798)
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, several portability bugs which would
lead to unexpected crashes on the ia64 platform have also been fixed.
Users of krb5-server are advised to update to these erratum packages
which contain backported fixes to correct these issues.
