Vulnerabilidades

Heimdal Thor Agent 2.5.17x before 2.5.173 does not verify X.509 certificates from TLS servers, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

An issue was discovered in Heimdal PRO 2.2.190. As part of the scanning feature, a process called md.hs writes an executable called CS1.tmp to C:\windows\TEMP. Afterwards the executable is run. It is possible for an attacker to create the file first, let md.hs overwrite it, and then rewrite the file in the window…

A vulnerability has been found in Heimdal PRO v2.2.190, but it is most likely also present in Heimdal FREE and Heimdal CORP. Faulty permissions on the directory "C:\ProgramData\Heimdal Security\Heimdal Agent" allow BUILTIN\Users to write new files to the directory. On startup, the process Heimdal.MonitorServices.exe…

In Heimdal through 7.4, remote unauthenticated attackers are able to crash the KDC by sending a crafted UDP packet containing empty data fields for client name or realm. The parser would unconditionally dereference NULL pointers in that case, leading to a segmentation fault. This is related to the _kdc_as_rep function…

The transit path validation code in Heimdal before 7.3 might allow attackers to bypass the capath policy protection mechanism by leveraging failure to add the previous hop realm to the transit path of issued tickets.

Heimdal before 7.4 allows remote attackers to impersonate services with Orpheus' Lyre attacks because it obtains service-principal names in a way that violates the Kerberos 5 protocol specification. In _krb5_extract_ticket() the KDC-REP service name must be obtained from the encrypted version stored in 'enc_part'…

Buffer overflow in libtelnet/encrypt.c in telnetd in FreeBSD 7.3 through 9.0, MIT Kerberos Version 5 Applications (aka krb5-appl) 1.0.2 and earlier, Heimdal 1.5.1 and earlier, GNU inetutils, and possibly other products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long encryption key, as exploited in the…

The gss_userok function in appl/ftp/ftpd/gss_userok.c in Heimdal 0.7.2 does not allocate memory for the ticketfile pointer before calling free, which allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an invalid username. NOTE: the vulnerability was originally reported for ftpd.c, but this is incorrect.

The (1) krshd and (2) v4rcp applications in (a) MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) up to 1.5, and 1.4.x before 1.4.4, when running on Linux and AIX, and (b) Heimdal 0.7.2 and earlier, do not check return codes for setuid calls, which allows local users to gain privileges by causing setuid to fail to drop privileges using attacks…

The (1) ftpd and (2) ksu programs in (a) MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) up to 1.5, and 1.4.x before 1.4.4, and (b) Heimdal 0.7.2 and earlier, do not check return codes for setuid calls, which might allow local users to gain privileges by causing setuid to fail to drop privileges. NOTE: as of 20060808, it is not known whether…

telnetd in Heimdal 0.6.x before 0.6.6 and 0.7.x before 0.7.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via unknown vectors that trigger a null dereference.

Unspecified vulnerability in rshd in Heimdal 0.6.x before 0.6.6 and 0.7.x before 0.7.2, when storing forwarded credentials, allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files and change file ownership via unknown vectors.

k5admind (kadmind) for Heimdal allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Kerberos 4 compatibility administration request whose framing length is less than 2, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Heimdal 0.6.x before 0.6.1 and 0.5.x before 0.5.3 does not properly perform certain consistency checks for cross-realm requests, which allows remote attackers with control of a realm to impersonate others in the cross-realm trust path.

Unknown vulnerabilities in Heimdal before 0.5 with unknown impact, possibly in the (1) kadmind and (2) kdc servers, may allow remote or local attackers to gain root or other access, but not via buffer overflows (CVE-2002-1225).

Multiple buffer overflows in Heimdal before 0.5, possibly in both the (1) kadmind and (2) kdc servers, may allow remote attackers to gain root access.

Kerberos 5 su (k5su) in FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier relies on the getlogin system call to determine if the user running k5su is root, which could allow a root-initiated process to regain its privileges after it has dropped them.
