"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-41:01 advisory.
Kerberos is a network authentication system. The krb5-server package contains the programs that must be
installed on a Kerberos 5 server. If you are installing a Kerberos 5 server, you need to install this
package.
Fixed bugs:
CVE-2009-0844
The get_input_token function in the SPNEGO implementation in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5 through 1.6.3
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly obtain sensitive
information via a crafted length value that triggers a buffer over-read.
CVE-2009-0845
The spnego_gss_accept_sec_context function in lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5)
1.6.3, when SPNEGO is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference
and application crash) via invalid ContextFlags data in the reqFlags field in a negTokenInit token.
CVE-2009-0846
The asn1_decode_generaltime function in lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_decode.c in the ASN.1 GeneralizedTime decoder
in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.6.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an invalid DER encoding that triggers a
free of an uninitialized pointer.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
