CVE-2024-37371

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MIT Kerberos 5 versions prior to 1.21.3

Description The issue is related to the handling of GSS message tokens in the Kerberos authentication protocol. An attacker can cause invalid memory reads by sending message tokens with invalid length fields, potentially impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. This can be exploited by a remote attacker.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.21.3, update to version 1.21.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to GSS message token handling until a patch is available.
