EulerOS Virtualization 2.5.2 : krb5 (EulerOS-SA-2018-1408)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 119897

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the krb5 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An authentication bypass flaw was found in the way krb5's certauth interface before 1.16.1 handled the validation of client certificates. A remote attacker able to communicate with the KDC could potentially use this flaw to impersonate arbitrary principals under rare and erroneous circumstances.(CVE-2017-7562)

 - In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 and later, an authenticated attacker can cause a KDC assertion failure by sending invalid S4U2Self or S4U2Proxy requests.(CVE-2017-11368)

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

Solution

Update the affected krb5 packages.
