Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Heimdal contains cross-realm vulnerability allowing someone with
control over a realm to impersonate anyone in the cross-realm trust
path.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Heimdal is a free implementation of Kerberos 5.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
app-crypt/heimdal <=3D 0.6.0 >=3D 0.6.1
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Heimdal does not properly perform certain consistency checks for
cross-realm requests, which allows remote attackers with control of a
realm to impersonate others in the cross-realm trust path.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Remote attackers with control of a realm may be able to impersonate
other users in the cross-realm trust path.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Heimdal users should upgrade to version 0.6.1 or later:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=3Dapp-crypt/heimdal-0.6.1"
# emerge ">=3Dapp-crypt/heimdal-0.6.1"
