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

<p>
MIT Kerberos 5 is a suite of applications that implement the Kerberos
network protocol.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The Kerberos administration daemon, and possibly other applications
using the GSS-API or RPC libraries, could potentially call a function
pointer in a freed heap buffer, or attempt to free an uninitialized
pointer.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A remote attacker may be able to crash an affected application, or
potentially 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&quot;</code>
</resolution>
