CVE-2011-0285

Publication date 14 April 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The process_chpw_request function in schpw.c in the password-changing functionality in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 through 1.9 frees an invalid pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted request that triggers an error condition.
