Issue date: 2014-09-17

CVE Names: CVE-2014-4345

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated krb5 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red

Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security

impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the

References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

Kerberos is an authentication system which allows clients and services to

authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, a

Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC).

 

A buffer overflow was found in the KADM5 administration server (kadmind)

when it was used with an LDAP back end for the KDC database. A remote,

authenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to execute arbitrary

code on the system running kadmind. (CVE-2014-4345)

 

All krb5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the

updated packages, the krb5kdc and kadmind daemons will be restarted

automatically.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the

Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
