Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank the MIT Kerberos project for reporting this issue. According to MIT, kadmind is vulnerable in all released versions of MIT krb5. Third-party server applications using libgssrpc are vulnerable if they enable the AUTH_GSSAPI authentication flavor and contain insufficiently defensive XDR functions External References: http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/advisories/MITKRB5-SA-2015-001.txt Created krb5 tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1188869] Statement: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is now in Production 3 Phase of the support and maintenance life cycle.
