OVERVIEW |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
A integer overflow could be exploited to gain root access |
| 17 |
to a KDC host. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
DETAIL |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
There is an integer overflow bug in the SUNRPC-derived RPC library |
| 22 |
used by the Kerberos 5 administration system that could be exploited |
| 23 |
to gain unauthorized root access to a KDC host. It is believed that |
| 24 |
the attacker needs to be able to authenticate to the kadmin daemon for |
| 25 |
this attack to be successful. No exploits are known to exist yet. |
| 26 |
