CVE-2015-2696

Publication date 8 November 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

lib/gssapi/krb5/iakerb.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.14 relies on an inappropriate context handle, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer read and process crash) via a crafted IAKERB packet that is mishandled during a gss_inquire_context call.
