Description:
    Previous versions of the krb5 package contain multiple
    vulnerabilities, the most serious of which may allow a
    remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    
    20 March 2008 Update: This unauthenticated remote Arbitrary Code
    Execution attack is believed to be limited to the kadmind server.
    rPath Linux systems are not automatically configured with kadmind
    enabled; only systems configured as kerberos administrative servers
    are vulnerable.
    
    Other unrelated vulnerabilities include Denials of Service and
    possible Information Exposures.
