  <title>MIT Kerberos 5: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    MIT Kerberos 5 is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack and remote
    execution of arbitrary code, possibly leading to the compromise of the
    entire Kerberos realm.

    MIT Kerberos 5 is the free implementation of the Kerberos network
    authentication protocol by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

    Daniel Wachdorf discovered that MIT Kerberos 5 could corrupt the
    heap by freeing unallocated memory when receiving a special TCP request
    (CAN-2005-1174). He also discovered that the same request could lead to
    a single-byte heap overflow (CAN-2005-1175). Magnus Hagander discovered
    that krb5_recvauth() function of MIT Kerberos 5 might try to
    double-free memory (CAN-2005-1689).

  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    Although exploitation is considered difficult, a remote attacker
    could exploit the single-byte heap overflow and the double-free
    vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, which could lead to the
    compromise of the whole Kerberos realm. A remote attacker could also
    use the heap corruption to cause a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There are no known workarounds at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest available
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.4.1-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
