<title>MIT krb5: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
<synopsis>
MIT krb5 contains several double-free vulnerabilities, potentially allowing
the execution of arbitrary code, as well as a denial of service
vulnerability.

<background>
<p>
MIT krb5 is the free implementation of the Kerberos network authentication
protocol by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The implementation of the Key Distribution Center (KDC) and the MIT krb5
library contain double-free vulnerabilities, making client programs as well
as application servers vulnerable.
</p>
<p>
The ASN.1 decoder library is vulnerable to a denial of service attack,
including the KDC.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
The double-free vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code on a KDC host and hosts running krb524d or vulnerable
services. In the case of a KDC host, this can lead to a compromise of the
entire Kerberos realm. Furthermore, an attacker impersonating a legitimate
KDC or application server can potentially execute arbitrary code on
authenticating clients.
</p>
<p>
An attacker can cause a denial of service for a KDC or application server
and clients, the latter if impersonating a legitimate KDC or application
server.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All mit-krb5 users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv "&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.4"
# emerge "&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.4"</code>
</resolution>
