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

The kadmserin function in (1) the Kerberos v4compatibility administration daemon (kadmind4) in the MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) krb5-1.2.6 and earlier, (2) kadmind in KTH Kerberos 4 (eBones) before 1.2.1, and (3) kadmind in KTH Kerberos 5 (Heimdal) before 0.5.1 when compiled with Kerberos 4 support, does not properly verify the length field of a request, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack.

The asn1decodegeneraltime function in lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1decode.c in the ASN.1 GeneralizedTime decoder in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.6.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an invalid DER encoding that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

A flaw was found in krb5 certificate EKU validation which could lead to improper authorization if a forged certificate with the right EKU and no SAN is used.

The PKINIT certauth eku module should never authoritatively authorize a certificate, because an extended key usage does not establish a relationship between the certificate and any specific user; it only establishes that the certificate was created for PKINIT client authentication.
