Description

kerberos5:

  • The krb5_aname_to_localname() library function contains
    multiple buffer overflows which could be exploited to gain
    unauthorized root access. Exploitation of these flaws requires an
    unusual combination of factors, including successful authentication
    to a vulnerable service and a non-default configuration on the
    target service. This flaw effects all releases of MIT Kerberos 5
    [0], up to and including krb5-1.3.3.

This problem has been assigned the id MITKRB5-SA-2004-001
[1].
