CVE-2014-9422

La función check_rpcsec_auth en kadmin/server/kadm_rpc_svc.c en kadmind en MIT Kerberos 5 (también conocido como krb5) hasta 1.11.5, 1.12.x hasta 1.12.2, y 1.13.x anterior a 1.13.1 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados evadir una comprobación de la autorización kadmin/* y obtener acceso administrativo mediante el aprovechamiento del acceso a un principal de dos componentes con una subcadena 'kadmind' inicial, tal y como fue demostrado por un principal 'ka/x'.

It was found that the MIT Kerberos administration server (kadmind) incorrectly accepted certain authentication requests for two-component server principal names. A remote attacker able to acquire a key with a particularly named principal (such as "kad/x") could use this flaw to impersonate any user to kadmind, and perform administrative actions as that user.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the MIT Kerberos SPNEGO acceptor for continuation tokens. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash a GSSAPI-enabled server application. A buffer overflow was found in the KADM5 administration server when it was used with an LDAP back end for the KDC database. A remote, authenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the system running kadmind. A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos libgssapi_krb5 library processed valid context deletion tokens. An attacker able to make an application using the GSS-API library call the gss_process_context_token() function could use this flaw to crash that application.
