openSUSE 10 Security Update : krb5-apps-clients (krb5-apps-clients-1937)

high Nessus Plugin ID 27312

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Various return checks of setuid() and seteuid() calls have been fixed in kerberos client and server applications.

If these applications are setuid, it might have been possible for local attackers to gain root access (CVE-2006-3083).

We are not affected by the seteuid() problems, tracked by CVE-2006-3084.

Solution

Update the affected krb5-apps-clients packages.
