    Package : krb5
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : local/remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE IDs : CVE-2009-0844, CVE-2009-0845, CVE-2009-0847, CVE-2009-0846 Debian Bug : none


    Several vulnerabilities have been found in the MIT reference implementation
    of Kerberos V5, a system for authenticating users and services on a network. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identified the following problems:

    The Apple Product Security team discovered that the SPNEGO GSS-API mechanism suffers of a missing bounds check when reading a network input buffer which results in an invalid read crashing the application or possibly leaking information (CVE-2009-0844).

    Under certain conditions the SPNEGO GSS-API mechanism references a null pointer which crashes the application using the library (CVE-2009-0845).

    An incorrect length check inside the ASN.1 decoder of the MIT krb5 implementation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash of the kinit or KDC program (CVE-2009-0847).

    Under certain conditions the the ASN.1 decoder of the MIT krb5 implementation frees an uninitialized pointer which could lead to denial of service and possibly arbitrary code execution (CVE-2009-0846).


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.4.4-7etch7.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-13.


    We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
