Description |
A local overflow exists in MIT Kerberos 5 when utilizing the Kerberos 4 compatibility libraries. Several Kerberos related programs fail to perform proper boundry checking on the KRB_CONF environment variable. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can gain unauthorized root access to vulnerable systems. This compromise would result in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.
