Description |
37 |
=========== |

|

Impact |

====== |
45 |

Remote attackers with control of a realm may be able to impersonate |
47 |
other users in the cross-realm trust path. |

========== |
51 |
|

A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are |
53 |
advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. |

Resolution |
56 |
========== |
