+ <title>MIT Kerberos 5: Multiple local privilege escalation vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Some applications shipped with MIT Kerberos 5 are vulnerable to local
+ privilege escalation.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">MIT Kerberos 5</product>
+ <announced>August 10, 2006</announced>
+ <revised>August 10, 2006: 01</revised>

+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-crypt/mit-krb5" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ MIT Kerberos 5 is a suite of applications that implement the Kerberos
+ network protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for
+ client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Unchecked calls to setuid() in krshd and v4rcp, as well as unchecked
+ calls to seteuid() in kftpd and in ksu, have been found in the MIT
+ Kerberos 5 program suite and may lead to a local root privilege
+ escalation.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
+ code with elevated privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.4.3-r3&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
