[GLSA-200406-21] mit-krb5: Multiple buffer overflows in krb5_aname_to_localname |

mit-krb5: Multiple buffer overflows in krb5_aname_to_localname Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200406-21 (mit-krb5: Multiple buffer overflows in krb5_aname_to_localname) The library function krb5_aname_to_localname() contains multiple buffer overflows. This is only exploitable if explicit mapping or rules-based mapping is enabled. These are not enabled as default. With explicit mapping enabled, a possible hacker must authenticate using a principal name listed in the explicit mapping list. With rules-based mapping enabled, a possible hacker must first be able to create arbitrary principal names either in the local realm Kerberos realm or in a remote realm from which the local realm's service are reachable by cross-realm authentication. Impact A possible hacker could use these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running mit-krb5, which could be the root user. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version.
