Description Vincent Danen 2010-01-19 03:45:03 UTC
A flaw was found in how the KDC processed invalid requests.  An unauthenticated remote attacker could send an invalid request to a KDC process that would cause it to crash due to an assertion failure, resulting in a denial of service of the KDC.

This flaw only affects MIT krb5 version 1.7 and later; earlier versions did not contain the vulnerable code.

Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2010-02-16 21:22:11 UTC
This is now public upstream via MITKRB5-SA-2010-001:

http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/advisories/MITKRB5-SA-2010-001.txt

This issue does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, or 5 as they do not ship with Kerberos >=1.7, and this is a vulnerability in code introduced in Kerberos 1.7.

This issue does affect Fedora 11 and 12.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2010-02-18 22:26:32 UTC
krb5-1.7.1-2.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
