Descriptions

MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.17.2 and 1.18.x before 1.18.3 allows unbounded recursion via an ASN.1-encoded Kerberos message because the lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_encode.c support for BER indefinite lengths lacks a recursion limit.

MIT Kerberos versión 5 (también se conoce como krb5) versiones anteriores a 1.17.2 y versiones 1.18.x anteriores a 1.18.3, permite una recursividad ilimitada por medio de un mensaje Kerberos codificado en ASN.1 porque el soporte de la biblioteca lib/krb5 /asn.1/asn1_encode.c para longitudes indefinidas BER carece un límite de recursividad

A flaw was found in krb5. MIT Kerberos 5 allows unbounded recursion via an ASN.1-encoded Kerberos message because the lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_encode.c support for BER indefinite lengths lacks a recursion limit.
