krb5: unauthorized root privileges
| Package(s): | krb5 |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2004-0523
|
| Created: | June 3, 2004 |
Updated: | June 29, 2004 |
| Description: |
Multiple buffer overflows exist in the krb5_aname_to_localname() library
function that if exploited could lead to unauthorized root privileges. In
order to exploit this flaw, an attacker must first successfully
authenticate to a vulnerable service, which must be configured to enable
the explicit mapping or rules-based mapping functionality of
krb5_aname_to_localname, which is not a default configuration. See the
this MIT krb5 Security Advisory for more information. |
