A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos KDC processed certain TGS (Ticket-granting Server) requests. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the KDC via a specially crafted TGS request. (CVE-2013-1416)

After installing the updated packages, the krb5kdc daemon will be restarted automatically.

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in krb5 :

The prep_reprocess_req function in do_tgs_req.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.10.5 does not properly perform service-principal realm referral, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted TGS-REQ request (CVE-2013-1416).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2013-0748 advisory.

    [1.10.3-10.2]
    - incorporate upstream patch to fix a NULL pointer dereference while processing       certain TGS requests (CVE-2013-1416, #950342)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2310-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted Draft 9 requests. A remote attacker     could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-1016)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain malformed KRB5_PADATA_PK_AS_REQ AS-REQ     requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1415)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted TGS-REQ requests. A remote     authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1416)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted requests when multiple realms were     configured. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1418, CVE-2013-6800)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain invalid tokens. If a remote attacker were able     to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be used to cause the daemon to crash, resulting     in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4341, CVE-2014-4342)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain mechanisms when used with SPNEGO. If a remote     attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be used to cause clients to     crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4343)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain continuation tokens during SPNEGO     negotiations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial     of service. (CVE-2014-4344)

    Tomas Kuthan and Greg Hudson discovered that the Kerberos kadmind daemon incorrectly handled buffers when     used with the LDAP backend. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting     in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-4345)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
