CVE-2011-0284
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.6)—
Double free vulnerability in the prepare_error_as function in do_as_req.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 through 1.9, when the PKINIT feature is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an e_data field containing typed data.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 7.6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 8.27%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 95
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
