Package: librpcsecgss Version: 0.14-3 Severity: grave Tags: security Hi, a CVE has been issued against this package: CVE-2007-3999: Stack-based buffer overflow in the svcauth_gss_validate function in lib/rpc/svc_auth_gss.c in the RPCSEC_GSS RPC library in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.4 through 1.6.2, as used by the Kerberos administration daemon (kadmind) and other applications that use krb5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and probably execute arbitrary code via a long string in an RPC message.
CVE-2007-4743 The original patch for CVE-2007-3999 in svc_auth_gss.c in the RPCSEC_GSS RPC library in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.4 through 1.6.2, as used by the Kerberos administration daemon (kadmind) and other applications that use krb5, does not correctly check the buffer length in some environments and architectures, which might allow remote attackers to conduct a buffer overflow attack. Please include the CVE id (CVE-2007-4743) in the changelog if you fix this bug. I have an NMU ready for this bug, please ping me if I have your ok to upload, otherwise I will wait 2 days on reaction.
