Debian DLA-1643-1 : krb5 security update
medium Nessus Plugin ID 121399
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security update.Description
krb5, a MIT Kerberos implementation, had several flaws in LDAP DN checking, which could be used to circumvent a DN containership check by supplying special parameters to some calls.Further an attacker could crash the KDC by making S4U2Self requests.
For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+dfsg-19+deb8u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Solution
Upgrade the affected packages.See Also
