CVE-2014-4344

MIT Kerberos 5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a buffer over-read or NULL pointer dereference, by injecting invalid tokens into a GSSAPI application session (CVE-2014-4341, CVE-2014-4342).

MIT Kerberos 5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a double-free flaw or NULL pointer dereference, while processing invalid SPNEGO tokens (CVE-2014-4343, CVE-2014-4344).

In MIT Kerberos 5, when kadmind is configured to use LDAP for the KDC database, an authenticated remote attacker can cause it to perform an out-of-bounds write (buffer overflow) (CVE-2014-4345).

These are all security issues fixed in the krb5-1.15-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The acc_ctx_cont function in the SPNEGO acceptor in lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5.x through 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty continuation token at a certain point during a SPNEGO negotiation.

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted Draft 9 requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-1016)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain malformed KRB5_PADATA_PK_AS_REQ AS-REQ requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1415)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted TGS-REQ requests. A remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1416)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted requests when multiple realms were configured. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1418, CVE-2013-6800)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain invalid tokens. If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be used to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4341, CVE-2014-4342)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain mechanisms when used with SPNEGO. If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be used to cause clients to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4343)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain continuation tokens during SPNEGO negotiations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4344)

Tomas Kuthan and Greg Hudson discovered that the Kerberos kadmind daemon incorrectly handled buffers when used with the LDAP backend. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-4345)
