A vulnerability where applications using the MIT krb5 GSS-API library was discovered, that could cause a KDC to issue unrequested tickets due to KrbFastReq forgery. An authenticated remote attacker that controls a legitimate service principal could obtain a valid service ticket to itself containing valid KDC-generated authorization data for a client whose TGS-REQ it has intercepted. The attacker could then use this ticket for S4U2Proxy to impersonate the targeted client even if the client never authenticated to the subverted service. The vulnerable configuration is believed to be rare. This flaw affects MIT krb5 version 1.7 and was corrected already in version 1.7.1. A patch to correct this flaw, as well the other flaws noted in MITKRB5-SA-2010-007 are available from http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/advisories/2010-007-patch.txt (v1.8) and http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/advisories/2010-007-patch-r17.txt (v1.7). This issue is known as CVE-2010-4021. The upstream announcement is available at http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/advisories/MITKRB5-SA-2010-007.txt.

Statement: Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of krb5 as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, or 6.
