Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2006:0612
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2006:0612. Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other through use of symmetric encryption and a trusted third party, the KDC. A flaw was found where some bundled Kerberos-aware applications would fail to check the result of the setuid() call. On Linux 2.6 kernels, the setuid() call can fail if certain user limits are hit. A local attacker could manipulate their environment in such a way to get the applications to continue to run as root, potentially leading to an escalation of privileges. (CVE-2006-3083). Users are advised to update to these erratum packages which contain a backported fix to correct this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0612.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#important Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.2
