The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-09 (MIT krb5: Multiple vulnerabilities)
The implementation of the Key Distribution Center (KDC) and the MIT krb5 library contain double-free vulnerabilities, making client programs as well as application servers vulnerable.
The ASN.1 decoder library is vulnerable to a denial of service attack, including the KDC.
Impact :
The double-free vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a KDC host and hosts running krb524d or vulnerable services. In the case of a KDC host, this can lead to a compromise of the entire Kerberos realm. Furthermore, an attacker impersonating a legitimate KDC or application server can potentially execute arbitrary code on authenticating clients.
An attacker can cause a denial of service for a KDC or application server and clients, the latter if impersonating a legitimate KDC or application server.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
