Buffer overflows in BSD-based FTP servers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long pattern string containing a {} sequence, as seen in (1) gopendir, (2) glstat, (3) gstat, and (4) the glob0 buffer as used in the glob functions glob2 and glob3.

MIT notified us of kadmind RPC lib buffer overflow, uninitialized pointer. Will be public on 04 September 2007, at 14:00 US/Eastern time.

This issue has not been triaged as it may well affect recent RHEL distributions with a different severity (flaw type is likely caught by fortifysource)

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in getmatchingdata() function when both the CA cert and the user cert have a long subject affecting krb5 that includes certauth plugin. Attack requires a validated certificate with a long subject and issuer, and a "pkinitcertmatch" string attribute on some principal in the database. A remote code execution exploit might also require that the attacker gets to choose the contents of the issuer in the validated cert.

DISPUTED The reply function in ftpd.c in the gssftp ftpd in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) does not initialize the length variable when authtype has a certain value, which has unknown impact and remote authenticated attack vectors. NOTE: the original disclosure misidentifies the conditions under which the uninitialized variable is used. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating " The 'length' variable is only uninitialized if 'authtype' is neither the 'KERBEROSV4' nor 'GSSAPI'; this condition cannot occur in the unmodified source code."
