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.

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.

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

The kdbldap plugin in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.9 through 1.9.1, when the LDAP back end is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a kinit operation with incorrect string case for the realm, related to the isprincipalinrealm, krb5seterrormessage, krb5ldapgetprincipal, and processasreq functions.

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.

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.

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) 1.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a malformed request packet that does not trigger a response packet.

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.

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.

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.
