Name : krb5
Product : Fedora 13
Version : 1.7.1
Release : 10.fc13
URL : http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
Summary : The Kerberos network authentication system
Description :
Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system,
which can improve your network's security by eliminating the insecure
practice of cleartext passwords.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Shawn Emery discovered a remotely-triggerable null pointer dereference in the
Kerberos GSS-API library which could be used to cause GSS-API-authenticated
services to crash. This update incorporates fixes to instead correctly detect
the error and return an error code.
