Descriptions

KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not set a global variable for some krb4 message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted messages that trigger a NULL pointer dereference or double-free.

KDC en MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) no fija variable global alguna para determinados tipos de mensaje krb4, la cual permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecución de código de su elección mediante mensajes manipulados que disparan una referencia a un puntero nulo o doble liberación de memoria (double-free).
