-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : krb5 SUMMARY : Integer overflow in Kerberos' remote administration service DATE : 2002-08-07 15:29:00 ID : CLA-2002:515 RELEVANT RELEASES : 8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION The "krb5" packages are MIT's implementation of the Kerberos 5 authentication protocol. There is a vulnerability[1][2][3] present in the remote administration service, "kadmind", that could potentially be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with administrator privileges. The vulnerability lies in the RPC library, derived from SunRPC, used by this service. An unchecked multiplication could lead to an integer overflow which would result in memory being incorrectly allocated and potential buffer overflows. SOLUTION It is recommended that all kerberos 5 remote administration users upgrade their packages. The kadmind service will be automatically restarted after the upgrade if it was already running. If an upgrade is not possible at this time, administrators should shut down the "kadmind" service or control access to it via packet filters or other means. To shut down the kadmind service, execute the following command as root: /sbin/service kadmind stop Please note the remote administration service "kadmind" is not enabled by default.
