Fixed In Version: gssntlmssp 1.2.0
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in GSS-NTLMSSP, a mechglue plugin for the GSSAPI library that implements NTLM authentication. A memory leak can be triggered when parsing usernames, triggering a denial of service. The domain portion of a username may be overridden, causing an allocated memory area the size of the domain name to be leaked. This flaw allows an attacker to leak memory via the main `gss_accept_sec_context` entry point, potentially causing a denial of service.

Description TEJ RATHI 2023-02-21 08:50:31 UTC 
GSS-NTLMSSP is a mechglue plugin for the GSSAPI library that implements NTLM authentication. Prior to version 1.2.0, a memory leak can be triggered when parsing usernames which can trigger a denial-of-service. The domain portion of a username may be overridden causing an allocated memory area the size of the domain name to be leaked. An attacker can leak memory via the main `gss_accept_sec_context` entry point, potentially causing a denial-of-service. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.0.
