The SuSE Security Team has reviewed critical parts of the Heimdal package such as the kadmind and kdc server. While doing so several potential buffer overflows and other bugs have been uncovered and fixed. Remote attackers can probably gain remote root access on systems without fixes. Since these services usually run on authentication servers these bugs are considered very serious.

Package        : heimdal
Vulnerability  : remote command execution
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no

The SuSE Security Team has reviewed critical parts of the Heimdal
package such as the kadmind and kdc server.  While doing so several
potential buffer overflows and other bugs have been uncovered and
fixed.  Remote attackers can probably gain remote root access on
systems without fixes.  Since these services usually run on
authentication servers these bugs are considered very serious.

These problems have been fixed in version 0.4e-7.woody.4 for the
current stable distribution (woody), in version 0.2l-7.4 for the old
stable distribution (potato) and version 0.4e-21 for the unstable
distribution (sid).

We recommend that you upgrade your Heimdal packages immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
