Vulnerability Summary for CVE-2010-1321
Original release date:05/19/2010
Last revised:01/19/2012

US-CERT/NIST
Overview
The kg_accept_krb5 function in krb5/accept_sec_context.c in the GSS-API library in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.7.1 and 1.8 before 1.8.2, as used in kadmind and other applications, does not properly check for invalid GSS-API tokens, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an AP-REQ message in which the authenticator's checksum field is missing.
Description
Per: http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/476.html
'CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference'
Impact
CVSS Severity (version 2.0):
Impact Subscore:
6.9
Exploitability Subscore:
8.0
CVSS Version 2 Metrics:
Access Vector: Network exploitable
Access Complexity: Low
Authentication: Required to exploit
Impact Type:Allows disruption of serviceUnknown
Per: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/advisories/MITKRB5-SA-2010-005.txt
'AFFECTED SOFTWARE
=================
* kadmind and other GSS-API server applications in all known releases
of MIT krb5, up to and including krb5-1.8.1
* third-party GSS-API server applications that link link against the
GSS-API library in all known releases of MIT krb5, up to and
including krb5-1.8.1
* Independent implementations of the krb5 GSS-API mechanism may be
vulnerable, as the underlying bug is based on plausible (but
invalid) assumptions about the Kerberos protocol.'
