Release : 17.fc1
Summary : User-friendly text console file manager and visual
shell.

Description :
Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager, only
with many more features. It is a text mode application, but it also

best features are its ability to FTP, view tar and zip files, and
to poke into RPMs for specific files.

Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-276
2004-08-31


Product : Fedora Core 1
Name : krb5
Version : 1.3.4
Release : 5
Summary : The Kerberos network authentication system.

Description :
Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system,
which can improve your network’s security by eliminating the
insecure practice of cleartext passwords.


Update Information:

Kerberos is a networked authentication system which uses a
trusted third party (a KDC) to authenticate clients and servers to
each other.

Several double-free bugs were found in the Kerberos 5 KDC and
libraries. A remote attacker could potentially exploit these flaws
to execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org/) has
assigned the names CAN-2004-0642 and CAN-2004-0643 to these
issues.

A double-free bug was also found in the krb524 server
(CAN-2004-0772), however this issue does not affect Fedora
Core.

An infinite loop bug was found in the Kerberos 5 ASN.1 decoder
library. A remote attacker may be able to trigger this flaw and
cause a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org/) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0644 to this issue.
