Descriptions

Heimdal before 7.4 allows remote attackers to impersonate services with Orpheus' Lyre attacks because it obtains service-principal names in a way that violates the Kerberos 5 protocol specification. In _krb5_extract_ticket() the KDC-REP service name must be obtained from the encrypted version stored in 'enc_part' instead of the unencrypted version stored in 'ticket'. Use of the unencrypted version provides an opportunity for successful server impersonation and other attacks. NOTE: this CVE is only for Heimdal and other products that embed Heimdal code; it does not apply to other instances in which this part of the Kerberos 5 protocol specification is violated.

Heimdal en versiones anteriores a la 7.4 permite que atacantes remotos suplanten servicios con ataques Orpheus' Lyre ya que obtiene nombres de servicios principales, de manera que viola la especificación del protocolo Kerberos 5. En _krb5_extract_ticket() el nombre del servicio KDC-REP se debe obtener de la versión cifrada almacenada en 'enc_part' en lugar de la versión sin cifrar almacenada en 'ticket'. El uso de versiones sin cifrar supone una oportunidad para que se lleve a cabo una suplantación del servidor exitosa además de otros ataques. NOTA: este CVE solo es aplicable a Heimdal y otros productos que embeben código Heimdal.

USN-3353-1 fixed a vulnerability in Heimdal. This update provides the corresponding update for Samba. Jeffrey Altman, Viktor Dukhovni, and Nicolas Williams discovered that Samba clients incorrectly trusted unauthenticated portions of Kerberos tickets. A remote attacker could use this to impersonate trusted network services or perform other attacks. Various other issues were also addressed.
