    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1721-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff February 11, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : libpam-krb5
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0360 CVE-2009-0361

    Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the PAM module
    for MIT Kerberos. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
    identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2009-0360

    Russ Allbery discovered that the Kerberos PAM module parsed
    configuration settings from enviromnent variables when run from a
    setuid context. This could lead to local privilege escalation if
    an attacker points a setuid program using PAM authentication to a
    Kerberos setup under her control.

    CVE-2009-0361

    Derek Chan discovered that the Kerberos PAM module allows
    reinitialisation of user credentials when run from a setuid
    context, resulting in potential local denial of service by
    overwriting the credential cache file or to privilege escalation.

    For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.6-1etch1.

    For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been
    fixed in version 3.11-4.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libpam-krb5 package.
