<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.

<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>
