Updated Kerberos (krb5) packages that correct buffer overflow and temporary file bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Kerberos is a networked authentication system that uses a trusted third party (a KDC) to authenticate clients and servers to each other.
A heap based buffer overflow bug was found in the administration library of Kerberos 1.3.5 and earlier. This bug could allow an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a realm’s master Kerberos KDC. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1189 to this issue.
Additionally a temporary file bug was found in the Kerberos krb5-send-pr program. It is possible that an attacker could create a temporary file that would allow an arbitrary file to be overwritten which the victim has write access to. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0971 to this issue.
All users of krb5 should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported security patches to resolve these issues.
