Description Laura Pardo 2018-03-02 17:14:13 UTC

A flaw was found in MIT krb5 1.6 or later, an authenticated kadmin user with permission to add principals to an LDAP Kerberos database can cause a null dereference in kadmind, or circumvent a DN container check, by supplying tagged data intended to be internal to the database module.
