+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Heimdal is a free implementation of Kerberos.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A buffer overflow was discovered in kadmind, a server for administrative
+ access to the Kerberos database.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ By sending a specially formatted message to kadmind, a remote attacker may
+ be able to crash kadmind causing a denial of service, or execute arbitrary
+ code with the permissions of the kadmind process.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ For a temporary workaround, providing you do not require Kerberos 4
+ support, you may turn off Kerberos 4 kadmin by running kadmind with the
+ --no-kerberos4 option.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Heimdal users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=app-crypt/heimdal-0.6.2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=app-crypt/heimdal-0.6.2"</code>
