Under specific configurations where RC4-HMAC-MD5 is negotiated for GSSAPI-secured communication, attackers can sniff messages and use MD5 collision techniques to craft altered messages that retain the same MIC (Message Integrity Code). The vulnerable checksum function from RFC4757 allows this due to its flawed use of MD5. The attack relies on RC4 being chosen over stronger encryption options and presumes attacker access to the network traffic.
