Synopsis: Moderate: krb5 security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2021:3576-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:3576
Issue date: 2021-09-21
CVE Names: CVE-2021-36222 CVE-2021-37750
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for krb5 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 8) - aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
3. Description:
Kerberos is a network authentication system, which can improve the security
of your network by eliminating the insecure practice of sending passwords
over the network in unencrypted form. It allows clients and servers to
authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, the
Kerberos key distribution center (KDC).
Security Fix(es):
* krb5: Sending a request containing PA-ENCRYPTED-CHALLENGE padata element
without using FAST could result in NULL dereference in KDC which leads to
DoS (CVE-2021-36222)
* krb5: NULL pointer dereference in process_tgs_req() in kdc/do_tgs_req.c
via a FAST inner body that lacks server field (CVE-2021-37750)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.
4. Solution:
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
After installing the updated packages, running Kerberos services (krb5kdc,
kadmin, and kprop) will be restarted automatically.
