Description David Walser 2016-03-23 19:40:25 CET

Fedora has issued an advisory on March 22:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2016-March/179220.html

Updated and patched packages uploaded for Mageia 5 and Cauldron.

Advisory:
========================

Updated krb5 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was reported that in all versions of MIT krb5, an authenticated attacker
with permission to modify a principal entry can cause kadmind to dereference a
null pointer by supplying an empty DB argument to the modify_principal command,
if kadmind is configured to use the LDAP KDB module (CVE-2016-3119).

The krb5 package has been updated to version 1.12.5 and patched to fix this
issue and other bugs.
