RHBA-2014:1600 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
python-kerberos bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated python-kerberos packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The python-kerberos packages contain a high-level wrapper for Kerberos Generic
Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI) operations.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the name of the egg-info file contained an incorrect version of
the python-kerberos packages. As a consequence, the module dependency resolution
did not work correctly. With this update, the egg-info file name contains the
correct version, and resolving dependencies works as expected. (BZ#973379)
- Prior to this update, the authenticate_gss_client_wrap() function
miscalculated the length of the username string when wrapping it. Consequently,
the Kerberos user name was not properly encoded into a GSSAPI message, and the
authentication failed. This patch fixes the calculation of the username string
length, and the authentication no longer fails. (BZ#1057333)
Users of python-kerberos are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
