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

The kdchandleprotectednegotiation function in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.8.x, 1.9.x before 1.9.5, and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 attempts to calculate a checksum before verifying that the key type is appropriate for a checksum, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (uninitialized pointer free, heap memory corruption, and daemon crash) via a crafted AS-REQ request.

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

The processasreq function in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.10.x before 1.10.3 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized pointer dereference and daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed AS-REQ request.

Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C

Off-by-one error in the krb5encodekrbsecretkey function in plugins/kdb/ldap/libkdbldap/ldapprincipal2.c in the LDAP KDB module in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.6.x through 1.11.x before 1.11.6 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a series of "cpw -keepold" commands.

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

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the MIT Kerberos SPNEGO acceptor for continuation tokens. An unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the server acceptor.

It is reported that this issue affects version 1.5 and later.

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

A double-free flaw was found in the MIT Kerberos SPNEGO initiators. An attacker able to spoof packets to appear as though they are from an GSSAPI acceptor could use this flaw to crash a client application that uses MIT Kerberos.

It is reported that this issue affects version 1.10 and later.

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

MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7.x through 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read or NULL pointer dereference, and application crash) by injecting invalid tokens into a GSSAPI application session.

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

An unspecified third-party database module for the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.10.x allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted request, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1418.
