Debian DSA-757-1 : krb5 - buffer overflow, double-free memory

Daniel Wachdorf reported two problems in the MIT krb5 distribution used for network authentication. First, the KDC program from the krb5-kdc package can corrupt the heap by trying to free memory which has already been freed on receipt of a certain TCP connection. This vulnerability can cause the KDC to crash, leading to a denial of service. [ CAN-2005-1174] Second, under certain rare circumstances this type of request can lead to a buffer overflow and remote code execution. [ CAN-2005-1175]

Additionally, Magnus Hagander reported another problem in which the krb5_recvauth function can in certain circumstances free previously freed memory, potentially leading to the execution of remote code. [ CAN-2005-1689]

All of these vulnerabilities are believed difficult to exploit, and no exploits have yet been discovered.

For the old stable distribution (woody), these problems have been
