CVE-2014-9423

Updated krb5 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Incorrect memory management in the libgssapi_krb5 library might result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2014-5352).

Incorrect memory management in kadmind's processing of XDR data might result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2014-9421).

Incorrect processing of two-component server principals might result in impersonation attacks (CVE-2014-9422).

An information leak in the libgssrpc library (CVE-2014-9423).

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

krb5 has been updated to fix four security issues:

* CVE-2014-5352: gss_process_context_token() incorrectly frees context
  (bsc#912002)
* CVE-2014-9421: kadmind doubly frees partial deserialization results
  (bsc#912002)
* CVE-2014-9422: kadmind incorrectly validates server principal name
  (bsc#912002)
* CVE-2014-9423: libgssrpc server applications leak uninitialized bytes
  (bsc#912002)

Additionally, these non-security issues have been fixed:

* Winbind process hangs indefinitely without DC. (bsc#872912)
* Hanging winbind processes. (bsc#906557)

MIT kerberos krb5 was updated to fix several security issues and bugs.

Security issues fixed: CVE-2014-5351: The kadm5_randkey_principal_3 function in lib/kadm5/srv/svr_principal.c in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) sent old keys in a response to a -randkey -keepold request, which allowed remote authenticated users to forge tickets by leveraging administrative access.

CVE-2014-5352: In the MIT krb5 libgssapi_krb5 library, after gss_process_context_token() is used to process a valid context deletion token, the caller was left with a security context handle containing a dangling pointer. Further uses of this handle would have resulted in use-after-free and double-free memory access violations. libgssrpc server applications such as kadmind were vulnerable as they can be instructed to call gss_process_context_token().

CVE-2014-9421: If the MIT krb5 kadmind daemon receives invalid XDR data from an authenticated user, it may have performed use-after-free and double-free memory access violations while cleaning up the partial deserialization results. Other libgssrpc server applications might also been vulnerable if they contain insufficiently defensive XDR functions.

CVE-2014-9422: The MIT krb5 kadmind daemon incorrectly accepted authentications to two-component server principals whose first component is a left substring of 'kadmin' or whose realm is a left prefix of the default realm.

CVE-2014-9423: libgssrpc applications including kadmind output four or eight bytes of uninitialized memory to the network as part of an unused 'handle' field in replies to clients.

Bugs fixed:

• Work around replay cache creation race; (bnc#898439).

The svcauth_gss_accept_sec_context function in lib/rpc/svc_auth_gss.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.11.x through 1.11.5, 1.12.x through 1.12.2, and 1.13.x before 1.13.1 transmits uninitialized interposer data to clients, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process heap memory by sniffing the network for data in a handle field.

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly sent old keys in response to a -randkey -keepold request. An authenticated remote attacker could use this issue to forge tickets by leveraging administrative access. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-5351)

It was discovered that the libgssapi_krb5 library incorrectly processed security context handles. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-5352)

Patrik Kis discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled LDAP queries with no results. An authenticated remote attacker could use this issue to cause the KDC to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-5353)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled creating database entries for a keyless principal when using LDAP. An authenticated remote attacker could use this issue to cause the KDC to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-5354)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled memory when processing XDR data. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause kadmind to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9421)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled two-component server principals. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform impersonation attacks. (CVE-2014-9422)

It was discovered that the libgssrpc library leaked uninitialized bytes. A remote attacker could use this issue to possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2014-9423)
