Descriptions

The gss_userok function in appl/ftp/ftpd/gss_userok.c in Heimdal 0.7.2 does not allocate memory for the ticketfile pointer before calling free, which allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an invalid username. NOTE: the vulnerability was originally reported for ftpd.c, but this is incorrect.

La función gss_userok de appl/ftp/ftpd/gss_userok.c en Heimdal 0.7.2 no reserva memoria para el puntero ticketfile antes de llamar a la función free, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos tener impacto desconocido mediante un nombre de usuario inválido. NOTA: la vulnerabilidad fue originalmente reportada para ftpd.c, pero esto es incorrecto.
