Description Paul B. Henson 2007-01-10 02:32:18 UTC

MIT krb5 Security Advisory 2006-002

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

Topic: kadmind (via RPC library) calls uninitialized function pointer

Severity: CRITICAL

CVE: CVE-2006-6143
CERT: VU#481564

SUMMARY
=======

The Kerberos administration daemon, "kadmind", can execute arbitrary
code by calling through a function pointer located in freed memory.
This vulnerability results from bugs in the server-side portion of the
RPC library.  Third-party server applications written using the RPC
library provided with MIT krb5 may also be vulnerable.

No exploit code is known to exist at this time.


Reproducible: Always
