Insight
The KRB5 libraries and utilities contained two security problems for which updates were released.
- CVE-2007-2798: A stack-based buffer overflow in kadmind was fixed which can be exploited by authenticated remote users to gain root. This requires kadmind to run to be effective.
- CVE-2007-2443: Additionally two bugs in the RPC library of kadmind were fixed that can lead to remote system compromise. Note that third-party applications using this RPC library are vulnerable too.
