<title>mit-krb5: Multiple buffer overflows in krb5_aname_to_localname</title>
<synopsis>
mit-krb5 contains multiple buffer overflows in the function
krb5_aname_to_localname(). This could potentially lead to a complete remote
system compromise.

mit-krb5 is the free implementation of the Kerberos network authentication
protocol by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

<description>
<p>
The library function krb5_aname_to_localname() contains multiple buffer
overflows. This is only exploitable if explicit mapping or rules-based
mapping is enabled. These are not enabled as default.
</p>
<p>
With explicit mapping enabled, an attacker must authenticate using a
principal name listed in the explicit mapping list.
</p>
<p>
With rules-based mapping enabled, an attacker must first be able to create
arbitrary principal names either in the local realm Kerberos realm or in a
remote realm from which the local realm's service are reachable by
cross-realm authentication.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
An attacker could use these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with
the permissions of the user running mit-krb5, which could be the root user.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
mit-krb5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.3-r1"
# emerge ">=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.3-r1"</code>
</resolution>
