Description Mark J. Cox 2003-02-06 11:36:28 UTC
An integer signedness error in the ASN.1 decoder before version 1.2.5
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large unsigned
data element length, which is later used as a negative value.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2002-0036
to this issue.  

The Key Distribution Center (KDC) before version 1.2.5 allows remote,
authenticated, attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) on KDCs
within the same realm via a certain protocol request that causes a null
dereference.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned
the name CAN-2003-0058 to this issue.

A vulnerability in the Kerberos before version 1.2.3 allows users from one
realm to impersonate users in other realms that have the same inter-realm
keys.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the
name CAN-2003-0059 to this issue.

The MIT advisory for these issues also mentions format string
vulnerabilities in the logging routines (CAN-2003-0060).  Previous versions
of the kerberos packages from Red Hat already contain fixes for this issue.
