| Detailed Description |
The system is running Kerberos 5 protocol. Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in MIT Kerberos 5 releases 1.2.7 and earlier, like the followings: - A remote user can crash the KDC. - A user authenticated in a remote realm may be able to claim to be other non-local users to an application server. - It may be possible for a user to gain access to the KDC system and database. - Corruption of malloc pool, probably leading to program crash. - Reference to data just past the end of an array in the KDC, for comparison against certain fixed data. May result in crashing the KDC.
* Note: This check solely relied on the presence of the Kerberos 5 service to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
