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.

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.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 and later, an authenticated attacker can cause a KDC assertion failure by sending invalid S4U2Self or S4U2Proxy requests.

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:P

The pkinitcheckkdcpkid function in plugins/preauth/pkinit/pkinitcryptoopenssl.c in the PKINIT implementation in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.10.4 and 1.11.x before 1.11.1 does not properly handle errors during extraction of fields from an X.509 certificate, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a malformed KRB5PADATAPKASREQ AS-REQ request.

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.

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.

dotgsreq.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.11 before 1.11.4, when a single-component realm name is used, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a TGS-REQ request that triggers an attempted cross-realm referral for a host-based service principal.
