CVE-2020-17049: Kerberos KDC Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
First published: Wed Nov 11 2020(Updated: )
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in the way Key Distribution Center (KDC) determines if a service ticket can be used for delegation via Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD). To exploit the vulnerability, a compromised service that is configured to use KCD could tamper with a service ticket that is not valid for delegation to force the KDC to accept it.
