Description
A memory leak flaw was found in the krb5_unparse_name() function of the MIT
Kerberos kadmind service. An authenticated attacker could repeatedly send
specially crafted requests to the server, which could cause the server to
consume large amounts of memory resources, ultimately leading to a denial
of service due to memory exhaustion. (CVE-2015-8631)
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the kadmind service of MIT
Kerberos. An authenticated attacker could send a maliciously crafted
message to force kadmind to read beyond the end of allocated memory, and
write the memory contents to the KDC database if the attacker has write
permission, leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2015-8629)
