Fedora 20 : krb5-1.11.3-32.fc20 (2013-21456)

low Nessus Plugin ID 70958

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update incorporates a bug fix to properly reject more invalid names for credential caches, and the fix for CVE-2013-1417, which could cause a KDC to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer.

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.

Solution

Update the affected krb5 package.
