MIT krb5 Security Advisory 2006-003

Original release: 2007-01-09
Last update: 2007-01-09

Topic: kadmind (via GSS-API mechglue) frees uninitialized pointers

Severity: CRITICAL

CVE: CVE-2006-6144
CERT: VU#831452

SUMMARY
=======

The Kerberos administration daemon, "kadmind", can free uninitialized
pointers, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution.  This
vulnerability results from memory management bugs in the "mechglue"
abstraction interface of the GSS-API implementation.  Third-party
applications written using the GSS-API may also be vulnerable.

Exploitation of this vulnerability is believed to be difficult.  No
exploit code is known to exist at this time.


Reproducible: Always
