Synopsis:          Updated Kerberos 5 packages are now available for Red Hat
Linux.

1. Topic:

Security vulnerabilities have been found in the Kerberos 5 implementation
shipped with Red Hat Linux 6.2.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386 alpha sparc

3. Problem description:

A number of possible buffer overruns were found in libraries included
in the affected packages.  A denial-of-service vulnerability was also found
in the ksu program.

* A remote user may gain unauthorized root access to a machine running
  services authenticated with Kerberos 4.

* A remote user may gain unauthorized root access to a machine running
  krshd, regardless of whether the program is configured to accept
  Kerberos 4 authentication.

* A local user may gain unauthorized root access by exploiting v4rcp
  or ksu.

A packaging error was discovered in the original set of updates.  This set
of update packages includes no functional differences compared to the
previously-released set.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

10653 - ''stat'' unresolved on "libkrb5.so.2.2" load
11496 - security-updated krb5 packages fail dependencies

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security.  Our key
is available at:
    http://www.redhat.com/corp/contact.html

You can verify each package with the following command:
    rpm --checksig  <filename>

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
    rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
