MIT Kerberos 5 is a suite of applications that implement the Kerberos network protocol.

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

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.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
