    GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
    - - --------------------------------------------------------------------

    PACKAGE : heimdal
    SUMMARY : remote command execution
    EXPLOIT : remote
    DATE    : 2002-10-14 15:30 UTC

    - - --------------------------------------------------------------------

    - From www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal:

    Kf and kfd are used to forward credentials in a stand-alone fashion.
    Work on them never really finished, and in releases earlier than
    Heimdal 0.5 they had multiple security issues, including possible
    buffer overruns. Their use has never been recommended.

    SOLUTION

    It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
    app-crypt/heimdal-0.4e and earlier update their systems
    as follows:

    emerge rsync
    emerge heimdal
    emerge clean
