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.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

The krb5ldaplockoutaudit function in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.8 through 1.8.4 and 1.9 through 1.9.1, when the LDAP back end is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via unspecified vectors, related to the lockedcheckp function. NOTE: the Berkeley DB vector is covered by CVE-2011-4151.

The lookuplockoutpolicy function in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.8 through 1.8.4 and 1.9 through 1.9.1, when the db2 (aka Berkeley DB) or LDAP back end is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via vectors that trigger certain processasreq errors.

The krb5db2lockoutaudit function in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.8 through 1.8.4, when the db2 (aka Berkeley DB) back end is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1528.

Double Free
AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

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.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P

The mergeauthdata function in kdcauthdata.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.8.x before 1.8.4 does not properly manage an index into an authorization-data list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash), or possibly obtain sensitive information, spoof authorization, or execute arbitrary code, via a TGS request that triggers an uninitialized pointer dereference, as demonstrated by a request from a Windows Active Directory client.

Severity
6.3
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L

MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.8.x through 1.8.3 does not reject RC4 key-derivation checksums, which might allow remote authenticated users to forge a (1) AD-SIGNEDPATH or (2) AD-KDC-ISSUED signature, and possibly gain privileges, by leveraging the small key space that results from certain one-byte stream-cipher operations.

Null Pointer Dereference
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

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.

Null Pointer Dereference
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

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.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

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.

Null Pointer Dereference
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

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.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

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.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

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.
