RHSA-2010:0863-02: [RHSA-2010:0863-02] Important: krb5 security update
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Description:
Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and
servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a
trusted third party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC).
An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos KDC
handled TGS (Ticket-granting Server) request messages. A remote,
authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the KDC or, possibly,
disclose KDC memory or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
KDC (krb5kdc). (CVE-2010-1322)
