Detail

A flaw was discovered in how the Kerberos krb5kdc handled Kerberos v4 protocol packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the krb5kdc daemon, disclose portions of its memory, or possibly %execute arbitrary code using malformed or truncated Kerberos v4 protocol requests (CVE-2008-0062, CVE-2008-0063).

This issue only affects krb5kdc when it has Kerberos v4 protocol compatibility enabled, which is a compiled-in default in all Kerberos versions that Mandriva Linux ships prior to Mandriva Linux 2008.0. Kerberos v4 protocol support can be disabled by adding v4_mode=none (without quotes) to the [kdcdefaults] section of /etc/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
