Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in MIT Kerberos 5 |
19 |
Applications, the most severe of which may allow execution of arbitrary |
20 |
code. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
A suite of applications that implement the Kerberos 5 network protocol |
26 |
from MIT. |

Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MIT Kerberos 5 |
40 |
Applications: |
41 |
|
42 |
* An error in the FTP daemon prevents it from dropping its initial |
43 |
effective group identifier (CVE-2011-1526). |
44 |
* A boundary error in the telnet daemon and client could cause a buffer |
45 |
overflow (CVE-2011-4862). |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary |
51 |
code with the privileges of the user running the telnet daemon or |
52 |
client. Furthermore, an authenticated remote attacker may be able to |
53 |
read or write files owned by the same group as the effective group of |
54 |
the FTP daemon. |
55 |
|
56 |
Workaround |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
|
61 |
Resolution |
62 |
========== |
63 |
|
64 |
All MIT Kerberos 5 Applications users should upgrade to the latest |
65 |
version: |
66 |
|
67 |
# emerge --sync |
68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=app-crypt/mit-krb5-appl-1.0.2-r1" |
