15 |
A stack buffer overflow in the implementation of the Kerberos v4 |
16 |
compatibility administration daemon (kadmind4) in the MIT krb5 |
17 |
distribution can be exploited to gain unauthorized root access to a |
18 |
KDC host. The attacker does not need to authenticate to the daemon to |
19 |
successfully perform this attack. At least one exploit is known to |
20 |
exist in the wild, and at least one attacker is reasonably competent |
21 |
at cleaning up traces of intrusion. |
