  <title>MIT Kerberos 5: Arbitrary remote code execution</title>
  <synopsis>
    Multiple vulnerabilities in MIT Kerberos 5 could potentially result in
    unauthenticated remote root code execution.

    <package name="app-crypt/mit-krb5" auto="yes" arch="*">

  <background>
    <p>
    MIT Kerberos 5 is a suite of applications that implement the Kerberos
    network protocol.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The Kerberos telnet daemon fails to properly handle usernames allowing
    unauthorized access to any account (CVE-2007-0956). The Kerberos
    administration daemon, the KDC and possibly other applications using
    the MIT Kerberos libraries are vulnerable to the following issues. The
    krb5_klog_syslog function from the kadm5 library fails to properly
    validate input leading to a stack overflow (CVE-2007-0957). The GSS-API
    library is vulnerable to a double-free attack (CVE-2007-1216).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    By exploiting the telnet vulnerability a remote attacker may obtain
    access with root privileges. The remaining vulnerabilities may allow an
    authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root
    privileges.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.2-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
