The processchpwrequest function in schpw.c in the password-changing functionality in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 through 1.9 frees an invalid pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted request that triggers an error condition.
Integer underflow flaws, leading to heap-based corruption, were found in the way MIT Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) used to decrypt ciphertexts encrypted with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and ARCFOUR (RC4) encryption algorithms. A remote KDC client could provide a specially-crafted AES or RC4 encrypted ciphertext(s), which once processed by a central KDC would lead to denial of service (KDC crash or abort) or, potentially, to KDC relying authentication services compromise or arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the KDC centre.

Double free vulnerability in the prepareerroras function in doasreq.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 through 1.9, when the PKINIT feature is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an edata field containing typed data.
The processdbargs function in plugins/kdb/ldap/libkdbldap/ldapprincipal2.c in the LDAP KDB module in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.13.4 and 1.14.x through 1.14.1 mishandles the DB argument, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted request to modify a principal.
The Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.6.x through 1.9, when an LDAP backend is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference or buffer over-read, and daemon crash) via a crafted principal name.
The unparse implementation in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.6.x through 1.9, when an LDAP backend is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor exhaustion and daemon hang) via a principal name that triggers use of a backslash escape sequence, as demonstrated by a \n sequence.
MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.13.1 incorrectly expects that a krb5readmessage data field is represented as a string ending with a '\0' character, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a zero-byte version string or (2) cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by omitting the '\0' character, related to appl/useruser/server.c and lib/krb5/krb/recvauth.c.
The dostandalone function in the MIT krb5 KDC database propagation daemon (kpropd) in Kerberos 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9, when running in standalone mode, does not properly handle when a worker child process "exits abnormally," which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (listening process termination, no new connections, and lack of updates in slave KVC) via unspecified vectors.
The prepreprocessreq function in kdc/dotgsreq.c in the cross-realm referral implementation in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 before 1.7.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a ticket request.
MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7.x and 1.8.x through 1.8.3 does not properly determine the acceptability of checksums, which might allow remote attackers to forge GSS tokens, gain privileges, or have unspecified other impact via (1) an unkeyed checksum, (2) an unkeyed PAC checksum, or (3) a KrbFastArmoredReq checksum based on an RC4 key.
MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.3.x, 1.4.x, 1.5.x, 1.6.x, 1.7.x, and 1.8.x through 1.8.3 does not properly determine the acceptability of checksums, which might allow remote attackers to modify user-visible prompt text, modify a response to a Key Distribution Center (KDC), or forge a KRB-SAFE message via certain checksums that (1) are unkeyed or (2) use RC4 keys.
The Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 does not properly restrict the use of TGT credentials for armoring TGS requests, which might allow remote authenticated users to impersonate a client by rewriting an inner request, aka a "KrbFastReq forgery issue."
