Summary
Moderate: krb5 security update
Details

Kerberos is a network authentication system, which can improve the security of your network by eliminating the insecure practice of sending passwords over the network in unencrypted form. It allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC).

Security Fix(es):

  • krb5: Sending a request containing PA-ENCRYPTED-CHALLENGE padata element without using FAST could result in NULL dereference in KDC which leads to DoS (CVE-2021-36222)

  • krb5: NULL pointer dereference in processtgsreq() in kdc/dotgsreq.c via a FAST inner body that lacks server field (CVE-2021-37750)
