medium Nessus Plugin ID 84979

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

krb5 was updated to fix three security issues.

Remote authenticated users could cause denial of service.

These security issues were fixed :

- CVE-2014-5353: NULL pointer dereference when using a ticket policy name as password name (bsc#910457).

- CVE-2014-5354: NULL pointer dereference when using keyless entries (bsc#910458).

- CVE-2014-5355: Denial of service in krb5_read_message (bsc#918595).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
