RHBA-2012:0550 - krb5-appl bug fix update

Synopsis

krb5-appl bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated krb5-appl packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The krb5-appl packages contain Kerberos-aware versions of telnet, ftp, rsh, and rlogin clients and servers. Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and trusted third-party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • When executing either the "mdir" or "mls" command, the FTP client stores results returned by the server in a specified local file. Previously, when opening the file, the client did not ensure that the mode value it passed to the fopen() function was properly null-terminated. This could cause unpredictable failures. This update ensures that the value is properly null-terminated so that the failures no longer occur in this scenario. (BZ#816689)

All users of krb5-appl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
