TITLE:
Fedora update for krb5

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39180

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39180/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for krb5. This fixes multiple
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An assertion error within the "spnego_gss_accept_sec_context()"
function in src/lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c can be exploited to
e.g. crash an application using the library by sending a specially
crafted packet.

For more information:
SA39010

2) An error in the gssftpd application can be exploited to e.g. crash
the application by authenticating with a non-existent user account.

Successful exploitation requires "ftpd" process to be started without
the "-a" option in "/etc/xinted.d/gssftp".

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update krb5").
