+ <background>
+ <p>
+ pam_krb5 is a a Kerberos v5 PAM module.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were discovered:
+ </p>
+ <ul><li>pam_krb5
+ does not properly initialize the Kerberos libraries for setuid use
+ (CVE-2009-0360).</li>
+ <li>Derek Chan reported that calls to
+ pam_setcred() are not properly handled when running setuid
+ (CVE-2009-0361).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could set an environment variable to point to a
+ specially crafted Kerberos configuration file and launch a PAM-based
+ setuid application to elevate privileges, or change ownership and
+ overwrite arbitrary files.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All pam_krb5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/pam_krb5-3.12"</code>
