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

The svcauthgssacceptseccontext function in lib/rpc/svcauthgss.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.11.x through 1.11.5, 1.12.x through 1.12.2, and 1.13.x before 1.13.1 transmits uninitialized interposer data to clients, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process heap memory by sniffing the network for data in a handle field.

Use After Free, Double Free
AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C

The authgssapiunwrapdata function in lib/rpc/authgssapimisc.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.11.5, 1.12.x through 1.12.2, and 1.13.x before 1.13.1 does not properly handle partial XDR deserialization, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and double free, and daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed XDR data, as demonstrated by data sent to kadmind.

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

The checkrpcsecauth function in kadmin/server/kadmrpcsvc.c in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.11.5, 1.12.x through 1.12.2, and 1.13.x before 1.13.1 allows remote authenticated users to bypass a kadmin/ authorization check and obtain administrative access by leveraging access to a two-component principal with an initial "kadmind" substring, as demonstrated by a "ka/x" principal.

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.

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.

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.
