| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
MIT krb5 versions prior to 1.6.1
MIT krb5 versions prior to 1.5.2-r1
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain system access via a username beginning with a '-' character. Multiple vulnerabilities in the mit-krb5 package can lead to violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely by an attacker who has passed the authentication procedure.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 1.6.1, update to version 1.6.1 or later to resolve the issue.
For versions prior to 1.5.2-r1, update to version 1.5.2-r1 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the telnet daemon (telnetd) until a patch is available.
Avoid using usernames beginning with a '-' character in the affected system until the issue is resolved.
