+ <title>MIT Kerberos 5: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in MIT Kerberos 5, which could
+ allow a remote unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code with root
+ privileges.

+ <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. kadmind is the MIT Kerberos 5 administration daemon,
+ KDC is the Key Distribution Center.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <ul><li>Two vulnerabilities were found in the Kerberos 4 support in
+ KDC: A global variable is not set for some incoming message types,
+ leading to a NULL pointer dereference or a double free()
+ (CVE-2008-0062) and unused portions of a buffer are not properly
+ cleared when generating an error message, which results in stack
+ content being contained in a reply (CVE-2008-0063).</li>
+ <li>Jeff
+ Altman (Secure Endpoints) discovered a buffer overflow in the RPC
+ library server code, used in the kadmin server, caused when too many
+ file descriptors are opened (CVE-2008-0947).</li>
+ <li>Venustech AD-LAB
+ discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the GSSAPI library: usage of a
+ freed variable in the gss_indicate_mechs() function (CVE-2007-5901) and
+ a double free() vulnerability in the gss_krb5int_make_seal_token_v3()
+ function (CVE-2007-5971).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ The first two vulnerabilities can be exploited by a remote
+ unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host running
+ krb5kdc, compromise the Kerberos key database or cause a Denial of
+ Service. These bugs can only be triggered when Kerberos 4 support is
+ enabled.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The RPC related vulnerability can be exploited by a remote
+ unauthenticated attacker to crash kadmind, and theoretically execute
+ arbitrary code with root privileges or cause database corruption. This
+ bug can only be triggered in configurations that allow large numbers of
+ open file descriptors in a process.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The GSSAPI vulnerabilities could be exploited by a remote attacker to
+ cause Denial of Service conditions or possibly execute arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Kerberos 4 support can be disabled via disabling the "krb4" USE flag
+ and recompiling the ebuild, or setting "v4_mode=none" in the
+ [kdcdefaults] section of /etc/krb5/kdc.conf. This will only work around
+ the KDC related vulnerabilities.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.6.3-r1"</code>
+ </resolution>
