Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to krb5
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:077.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in krb5:

The process_chpw_request function in schpw.c in the password-changing
functionality in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 through 1.9
frees an invalid pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a
crafted request that triggers an error condition (CVE-2011-0285).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2010.1, Enterprise Server 5.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
