MDKSA-2005:061: krb5 Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Check for the version of the krb5 package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:061 (krb5).
Two buffer overflow issues were discovered in the way telnet clients handle
messages from a server. Because of these issues, a possible hacker may be able to
execute arbitray code on the victim's machine if the victim can be tricked into
connecting to a malicious telnet server. The Kerberos package contains a telnet
client and is patched to deal with these issues.
