Detail
| The SuSE Security Team has reviewed critical parts of the Heimdal package such as the kadmind and kdc server. While doing so several potential buffer overflows and other bugs have been uncovered and fixed. Remote attackers can probably gain remote root access on systems without fixes. Since these services usually run on authentication servers these bugs are considered very serious. These problems have been fixed in version 0.4e-7.woody.4 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 0.2l-7.4 for the old stable distribution (potato) and version 0.4e-21 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your Heimdal packages immediately. 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.

| 5617 | Heimdal Kerberos kadmind Multiple Unspecified Issues Heimdal Kerberos contains multiple flaws that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability. There is no more information available about the nature of these flaws, other than that they are not buffer overflows. |
| 5616 | Heimdal Kerberos kadmind Multiple Buffer Overflows Heimdal Kerberos contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to exploit a buffer overflow condition. It is possible that the flaw may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability. |
| 4899 | Heimdal Kerberos Forwarding Daemon Arbitrary File Overwrite The Heimdal Kerberos Forwarding Daemon contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized resources, such as accessing and overwriting files accessible via the authenticated user's id.
