Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2011-04-15 00:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:27
Severity
Summary
The process_chpw_request function in schpw.c in the password-changing functionality in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 through 1.9 frees an invalid pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted request that triggers an error condition.
