2002-08-05: Security advisory regarding OpenSSL and XDR
-
The problems discovered in
OpenSSL
does not directly affect Heimdal. Even when linked with OpenSSL the
bad functions are not used.
-
Likewise, the integer overflow in
Sun's XDR
library does not directly affect Heimdal. MIT's Kadmin library uses a
variant of GSSRPC that had this problem, but Heimdal uses a different
marshaling.
Third party applications might be affected, and it's probably a good
idea to avoid using the misbehaving libraries.
