Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-042 - Fixed a kadmind denial of service issue, which could only be triggered by an administrator with the create privilege. The MIT krb5 KDC daemon can free an uninitialized pointer while processing an unusual AS-REQ, corrupting the process heap and possibly causing the daemon to abnormally terminate. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute malicious code, but exploiting frees of uninitialized pointers to execute code is believed to be difficult. It is possible that a legitimate client that is misconfigured in an unusual way could trigger this vulnerability. It was reported that the KDC plugin for PKINIT could dereference a NULL pointer when a malformed packet caused processing to terminate early, which led to a crash of the KDC process. An attacker would require a valid PKINIT certificate or have observed a successful PKINIT authentication to execute a successful attack. In addition, an unauthenticated attacker could execute the attack of anonymouse PKINIT was enabled. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

_______________________________________________________________________
Package : krb5
Date : April 5, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in krb5:
Fix a kadmind denial of service issue (null pointer dereference),
which could only be triggered by an administrator with the create
privilege (CVE-2012-1013).
The MIT krb5 KDC (Key Distribution Center) daemon can free an
uninitialized pointer while processing an unusual AS-REQ, corrupting
the process heap and possibly causing the daemon to abnormally
terminate. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute
malicious code, but exploiting frees of uninitialized pointers to
execute code is believed to be difficult. It is possible that a
legitimate client that is misconfigured in an unusual way could
trigger this vulnerability (CVE-2012-1015).
It was reported that the KDC plugin for PKINIT could dereference a
NULL pointer when a malformed packet caused processing to terminate
early, which led to a crash of the KDC process. An attacker would
require a valid PKINIT certificate or have observed a successful
PKINIT authentication to execute a successful attack. In addition,
an unauthenticated attacker could execute the attack of anonymouse
PKINIT was enabled (CVE-2013-1415).
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
