+ <title>MIT Kerberos 5: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>

+ Two vulnerabilities have been found in MIT Kerberos 5, which could allow a
+ remote unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ MIT Kerberos 5 is a suite of applications that implement the Kerberos
+ network protocol. kadmind is the MIT Kerberos 5 administration daemon.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A stack buffer overflow (CVE-2007-3999) has been reported in
+ svcauth_gss_validate() of the RPC library of kadmind. Another
+ vulnerability (CVE-2007-4000) has been found in
+ kadm5_modify_policy_internal(), which does not check the return values
+ of krb5_db_get_policy() correctly.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ The RPC related vulnerability can be exploited by a remote
+ unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges
+ on the host running kadmind. The second vulnerability requires the
+ remote attacker to be authenticated and to have "modify policy"
+ privileges. It could then also allow for the remote execution of
+ arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.3-r1&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
