CVE-2012-1012

Publication date 7 June 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

server/server_stubs.c in the kadmin protocol implementation in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.10 before 1.10.1 does not properly restrict access to (1) SET_STRING and (2) GET_STRINGS operations, which might allow remote authenticated administrators to modify or read string attributes by leveraging the global list privilege.
