Debian DSA-1387-1 : librpcsecgss - buffer overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 27066

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It has been discovered that the original patch for a buffer overflow in svc_auth_gss.c in the RPCSEC_GSS RPC library in MIT Kerberos 5 (CVE-2007-3999, DSA-1368-1) was insufficient to protect from arbitrary code execution in some environments.

Solution

Upgrade the librpcsecgss package.

The old stable distribution (sarge) does not contain a librpcsecgss package.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.14-2etch3.
