Descriptions

The kssl_keytab_is_available function in ssl/kssl.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8n, when Kerberos is enabled but Kerberos configuration files cannot be opened, does not check a certain return value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via SSL cipher negotiation, as demonstrated by a chroot installation of Dovecot or stunnel without Kerberos configuration files inside the chroot.

La funcion kssl_keytab_is_available en ssl/kssl.c en OpenSSL before v0.9.8n, cuando Kerberos esta activo pero los ficheros de configuracion de Kerberos no pueden ser abiertos, no comprueba adecuadamente cierto valor de retorno, lo que permite a atacantes remotos producir una denegacion de servicio (desreferencia a puntero nulo y caida de demonio) a traves de la negociacion del cifrado SSL, lo que se demuestra mediante la instalacion chroot de Dovecot o stunnel sin los ficheros de configuracion de Kerberos dentro de chroot.
