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

Unknown vulnerabilities in Heimdal before 0.5 with unknown impact, possibly in the (1) kadmind and (2) kdc servers, may allow remote or local attackers to gain root or other access, but not via buffer overflows (CVE-2002-1225).

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

Multiple buffer overflows in Heimdal before 0.5, possibly in both the (1) kadmind and (2) kdc servers, may allow remote attackers to gain root access.

Buffer Overflow
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.

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

telnetd in Heimdal 0.6.x before 0.6.6 and 0.7.x before 0.7.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via unknown vectors that trigger a null dereference.

First published (updated )
Severity
7.5
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The Kerberos Telnet protocol, as implemented by KTH Kerberos IV and Kerberos V (Heimdal), does not encrypt authentication and encryption options sent from the server, which allows remote attackers to downgrade authentication and encryption mechanisms via a man-in-the-middle attack.

Severity
7.5
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Heap overflow in the KTH Kerberos 4 FTP client 4-1.1.1 allows remote malicious servers to execute arbitrary code on the client via a long response to a passive (PASV) mode request.

First published (updated )
Severity
7.2
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

KTH Kerberos IV allows local users to change the configuration of a Kerberos server running at an elevated privilege by specifying an alternate directory using with the KRBCONFDIR environmental variable, which allows the user to gain additional privileges.

Severity
7.2
Buffer Overflow
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Buffer overflow in the kdcreplycipher function in KTH Kerberos IV allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands via a long authentication request.

First published (updated )
Severity
7.2
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

KTH Kerberos IV allows local users to specify an alternate proxy using the krb4proxy variable, which allows the user to generate false proxy responses and possibly gain privileges.

Severity
7.2
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Kerberos 5 su (k5su) in FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier relies on the getlogin system call to determine if the user running k5su is root, which could allow a root-initiated process to regain its privileges after it has dropped them.

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in the GetWavHeader function in generic/jkSoundFile.c in the Snack Sound Toolkit, as used in WaveSurfer 1.8.8p4, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large chunk size in a WAV file.

First published (updated )
Severity
5
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

KTH Kerberos IV and Kerberos V (Heimdal) for Telnet clients do not encrypt connections if the server does not support the requested encryption, which allows remote attackers to read communications via a man-in-the-middle attack.

First published (updated )
Severity
5
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

Kerberos 4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a malformed UDP packet that generates an error string that inadvertently includes the realm name and the last user.

Severity
5
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Heimdal 0.6.x before 0.6.1 and 0.5.x before 0.5.3 does not properly perform certain consistency checks for cross-realm requests, which allows remote attackers with control of a realm to impersonate others in the cross-realm trust path.

Severity
2.1
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Unspecified vulnerability in rshd in Heimdal 0.6.x before 0.6.6 and 0.7.x before 0.7.2, when storing forwarded credentials, allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files and change file ownership via unknown vectors.

First published (updated )
Severity
1.2
AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

KTH Kerberos IV allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a ticket file.
