Updated kerberos packages fix a number of vulnerabilities found in MIT Kerberos.

Kerberos is a network authentication system. The MIT Kerberos team released an advisory describing a number of vulnerabilities that affect the kerberos packages shipped by Red Hat.

An integer signedness error in the ASN.1 decoder before version 1.2.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large unsigned data element length, which is later used as a negative value.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2002-0036 to this issue.

The Key Distribution Center (KDC) before version 1.2.5 allows remote, authenticated, attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) on KDCs within the same realm via a certain protocol request that :

  - causes a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2003-0058).

  - causes the KDC to corrupt its heap (CVE-2003-0082).

A vulnerability in Kerberos before version 1.2.3 allows users from one realm to impersonate users in other realms that have the same inter-realm keys (CVE-2003-0059).

The MIT advisory for these issues also mentions format string vulnerabilities in the logging routines (CVE-2003-0060). Previous versions of the kerberos packages from Red Hat already contain fixes for this issue.

Vulnerabilities have been found in the implementation of support for triple-DES keys in the implementation of the Kerberos IV authentication protocol included in MIT Kerberos (CVE-2003-0139).

Vulnerabilities have been found in the Kerberos IV authentication protocol which allow an attacker with knowledge of a cross-realm key that is shared with another realm to impersonate any principal in that realm to any service in that realm. This vulnerability can only be closed by disabling cross-realm authentication in Kerberos IV (CVE-2003-0138).

Vulnerabilities have been found in the RPC library used by the kadmin service in Kerberos 5. A faulty length check in the RPC library exposes kadmind to an integer overflow which can be used to crash kadmind (CVE-2003-0028).

All users of Kerberos are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which disable cross-realm authentication by default for Kerberos IV and which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

The remote host is running Kerberos 5.

There are multiple flaws that affect this product. Make sure you are running the latest version with the latest patches.

Note that Nessus could not check for any of the flaws and solely relied on the presence of the service to issue an alert, so this might be a false positive.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the Kerberos network authentication system. The MIT Kerberos team have released an advisory detailing these vulnerabilities, a description of which follows.

An integer signedness error in the ASN.1 decoder before version 1.2.5 allows remote attackers to cause a crash of the server via a large unsigned data element length, which is later used as a negative value (CVE-2002-0036). Mandrake Linux 9.0+ is not affected by this problem.

Vulnerabilities have been found in the RPC library used by the kadmin service. A faulty length check in the RPC library exposes kadmind to an integer overflow which can be used to crash kadmind (CVE-2003-0028).

The KDC (Key Distribution Center) before version 1.2.5 allows remote, authenticated attackers to cause a crash on KDCs within the same realm using a certain protocol that causes a null dereference (CVE-2003-0058). Mandrake Linux 9.0+ is not affected by this problem.

Users from one realm can impersonate users in other realms that have the same inter-realm keys due to a vulnerability in Kerberos 1.2.3 and earlier (CVE-2003-0059). Mandrake Linux 9.0+ is not affected by this problem.

The KDC allows remote, authenticated users to cause a crash on KDCs within the same realm using a certain protocol request that causes an out-of-bounds read of an array (CVE-2003-0072).

The KDC allows remote, authenticated users to cause a crash on KDCs within the same realm using a certain protocol request that causes the KDC to corrupt its heap (CVE-2003-0082).

Vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Kerberos IV authentication protocol which allow an attacker with knowledge of a cross-realm key, which is shared in another realm, to impersonate a principle in that realm to any service in that realm. This vulnerability can only be closed by disabling cross-realm authentication in Kerberos IV (CVE-2003-0138).

Vulnerabilities have been discovered in the support for triple-DES keys in the Kerberos IV authentication protocol which is included in MIT Kerberos (CVE-2003-0139).

MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade to these updated packages immediately which contain patches to correct all of the previously noted vulnerabilities. These packages also disable Kerberos IV cross-realm authentication by default.

Update :

The packages for Mandrake Linux 9.1 and 9.1/PPC were not GPG-signed.
This has been fixed and as a result the md5sums have changed. Thanks to Mark Lyda for pointing this out.
