Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

These updates incorporate the upstream patch for a NULL pointer dereference in the KDC which could occur while processing certain TGS requests (CVE-2013-1416).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
