RedHat: RHSA-2021-1593:01 Moderate: krb5 security update
Summary
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: unbounded recursion via an ASN.1-encoded Kerberos message in
lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_encode.c may lead to DoS (CVE-2020-28196)
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.
Additional Changes:
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 8.4 Release Notes linked from the References section.
