    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2379-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer January 04, 2012 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : krb5
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-1528 CVE-2011-1529

    It was discovered that the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in Kerberos 5
    crashes when processing certain crafted requests:

    CVE-2011-1528
    When the LDAP backend is used, remote users can trigger
    a KDC daemon crash and denial of service.

    CVE-2011-1529
    When the LDAP or Berkeley DB backend is used, remote users
    can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the KDC daemon
    and a denial of service.

    The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by these problems.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed
    in version 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze5.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.10+dfsg~alpha1-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 packages.
