OpenPKG-SA-2004.039 13-Sep-2004
________________________________________________________________________
Package: kerberos
Vulnerability: arbitrary code execution, denial of service
OpenPKG Specific: no
Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT <= kerberos-1.3.4-20040730 >= kerberos-1.3.4-20040901
OpenPKG 2.1 <= kerberos-1.3.4-2.1.0 >= kerberos-1.3.4-2.1.1
OpenPKG 2.0 <= kerberos-1.3.1-2.0.1 >= kerberos-1.3.1-2.0.2
Dependent Packages: none
Description:
According to two vendor security advisories [1][2], multiple
vulnerabilities exists in the Kerberos [0] network authentication
system. The first set of problems are double-free issues in the KDC
and libraries. The second problem is a denial-of-service vulnerability
in the ASN.1 decoder. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
project assigned the ids CAN-2004-0642 [3], CAN-2004-0643 [4],
CAN-2004-0644 [5] and CAN-2004-0772 [6] to the problems.
Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
rpm -q kerberos". If you have the "kerberos" package installed and its
version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
upgrade it (see Solution) [7][8].
Solution:
Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
[9][10], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [11][12] or a mirror
location, verify its integrity [13], build a corresponding binary
RPM from it [7] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
binary RPM [8]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.1, perform the
following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
other releases adjust accordingly).
$ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
ftp> bin
ftp> cd release/2.1/UPD
ftp> get kerberos-1.3.4-2.1.1.src.rpm
ftp> bye
$ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig kerberos-1.3.4-2.1.1.src.rpm
$ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild kerberos-1.3.4-2.1.1.src.rpm
$ su -
# <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/kerberos-1.3.4-2.1.1.*.rpm
