Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Przemyslaw Frasunek discovered several flaws in lukemftpd, which also |
38 |
apply to Heimdal ftpd's out-of-band signal handling code. |
39 |
|
40 |
Additionally, a potential vulnerability that could lead to Denial of |
41 |
Service by the Key Distribution Center (KDC) has been fixed in this |
42 |
version. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker could be able to run arbitrary code with escalated |
48 |
privileges, which can result in a total compromise of the server. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All Heimdal users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge sync |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge -pv ">=app-crypt/heimdal-0.6.3" |
63 |
# emerge ">=app-crypt/heimdal-0.6.3" |
