Descriptions

The "mechglue" abstraction interface of the GSS-API library for Kerberos 5 1.5 through 1.5.1, as used in Kerberos administration daemon (kadmind) and other products that use this library, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors that cause mechglue to free uninitialized pointers.

La abstracción de interfaz "mechglue" de la biblioteca GSS-API para Kerberos 5 1.5 hasta 1.5.1, tal y como se usan en el demonio de administración Kerberos (kadmind) y otros productos que utilizan esta biblioteca, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) mediante vectores desconocidos que provoca que mechglue libere punteros sin inicializar.
