    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1722-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff February 11, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : libpam-heimdal
    Vulnerability : programming error
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0361

    Derek Chan discovered that the PAM module for the Heimdal Kerberos implementation 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 local privilege
    escalation.

    For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.5-1etch1.

    For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been
    fixed in version 3.10-2.1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libpam-heimdal package.
