Subject: Another facet of Kerberos insecurity

Hi,

Before I forget, here's an observation made by Matthew Kirkwood.

RedHat6.2 has "/usr/kerberos/bin" first in the $PATH. In this directory,
there exist "ftp", "telnet", "rlogin", etc. Does this mean that a
malicious remote site (or compromised big site) could use insecurities in
the Kerberos protocol to compromise clients connecting with these
"kerberized" binaries?

Cheers
Chris
