Joel Johnson reported a possible double-free in the Kerberos KDC (MITKRB5-SA-2010-004, CVE-2010-1320). This update adds the upstream fix for this bug.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that Kerberos did not correctly free memory in the GSSAPI and kdb libraries. If a remote attacker were able to manipulate an application using these libraries carefully, the service could crash, leading to a denial of service. (Only Ubuntu 6.06 LTS was affected.) (CVE-2007-5902, CVE-2007-5971, CVE-2007-5972)

Joel Johnson, Brian Almeida, and Shawn Emery discovered that Kerberos did not correctly verify certain packet structures. An unauthenticated remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to cause the KDC or kadmind services to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2010-1320, CVE-2010-1321).

The MIT Kerberos team reports :

An authenticated remote attacker can crash the KDC by inducing the KDC to perform a double free. Under some circumstances on some platforms, this could also allow malicious code execution.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-13 (MIT Kerberos 5: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MIT Kerberos 5. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the administration daemon or the Key Distribution Center       (KDC) daemon, cause a Denial of Service condition, or possibly obtain       sensitive information. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to       spoof Kerberos authorization, modify KDC responses, forge user data       messages, forge tokens, forge signatures, impersonate a client, modify       user-visible prompt text, or have other unspecified impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.6.x that is prior to 10.6.4.

Mac OS X 10.6.4 contains security fixes for the following components :

  - CUPS
  - DesktopServices
  - Flash Player plug-in
  - Folder Manager
  - Help Viewer
  - iChat
  - ImageIO
  - Kerberos
  - Kernel
  - libcurl
  - Network Authorization
  - Open Directory
  - Printer Setup
  - Printing
  - Ruby
  - SMB File Server
  - SquirrelMail
  - Wiki Server

Specially crafted requests be authenticated remote attackers could crash the KDC (CVE-2010-1320).
