MetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
The AUTH GSSAPI handler in lib/rpc/svc auth gssapi.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5.2 and later allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion in kadmind) by sending repeated failed AUTH GSSAPI INIT requests. Each failed request allocates client state that is only freed after a 15-minute expiration timeout, allowing an attacker to accumulate memory faster than it is reclaimed.
