Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated Kerberos 5 packages now available

Notes

Topic
Updated Kerberos 5 packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7, and 7.1. These updates close vulnerabilities due to potential buffer overflows in the Kerberos-aware telnet server included in the krb5-workstation package.
Details
By exploiting buffer overflows in the telnet server included in the krb5-workstation package, a remote attacker can obtain superuser privileges on a vulnerable host.

Only those\nRPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are\nnot installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you\ncan also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the\ndesired RPMs.\n\nPlease note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
