==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 17.04
- Ubuntu 16.10
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Heimdal could allow unintended access to network services.
Software Description:
- heimdal: Heimdal Kerberos Network Authentication Protocol
Details:
Jeffrey Altman, Viktor Dukhovni, and Nicolas Williams discovered
that Heimdal clients incorrectly trusted unauthenticated portions
of Kerberos tickets. A remote attacker could use this to impersonate
trusted network services or perform other attacks.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 17.04:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
