critical Nessus Plugin ID 289469

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2014-606:02 advisory.

 Description :
 Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system, which can improve your network's security by eliminating the insecure practice of sending passwords over the network in unencrypted form.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2013-1418 The setup_server_realm function in main.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.10.7, when multiple realms are configured, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted request.
 CVE-2013-6800 An unspecified third-party database module for the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.10.x allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted request, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1418.
 CVE-2014-4341 MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over- read and application crash) by injecting invalid tokens into a GSSAPI application session.
 CVE-2014-4342 MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7.x through 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read or NULL pointer dereference, and application crash) by injecting invalid tokens into a GSSAPI application session.
 CVE-2014-4343 Double free vulnerability in the init_ctx_reselect function in the SPNEGO initiator in lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.10.x through 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via network traffic that appears to come from an intended acceptor, but specifies a security mechanism different from the one proposed by the initiator.
 CVE-2014-4344 The acc_ctx_cont function in the SPNEGO acceptor in lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5.x through 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty continuation token at a certain point during a SPNEGO negotiation.
 CVE-2014-4345 Off-by-one error in the krb5_encode_krbsecretkey function in plugins/kdb/ldap/libkdb_ldap/ldap_principal2.c in the LDAP KDB module in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.6.x through 1.11.x before 1.11.6 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a series of cpw
 -keepold commands.
 Fixed bugs;
 These updated krb5 packages also include several bug fixes.
 Please see changelog for more information.
