Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.892041
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-2041-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'debian-edu-config' package(s) announced via the DLA-2041-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'debian-edu-config' package(s) announced via the DLA-2041-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that debian-edu-config, the package containing the configuration files and scripts for Debian Edu (Skolelinux), contained an insecure configuration for kadmin, the Kerberos administration server. The insecure configuration allowed every user to change other users' passwords, thus impersonating them and possibly gaining their privileges.

The bug was not exposed in the officially documented user management frontends of Debian Edu, but could be abused by local network users knowing how to use the Kerberos backend.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 1.818+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your debian-edu-config packages.
