Ubuntu: 2810-1 Critical Issues Found with Kerberos DoS Threats

Ubuntu Large Esm H500
Several security issues were fixed in Kerberos.
=========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2810-1
November 12, 2015

krb5 vulnerabilities
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.10
- Ubuntu 15.04
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Kerberos.

Software Description:
- krb5: MIT Kerberos Network Authentication Protocol

Details:

It was discovered that the Kerberos kpasswd service incorrectly handled
certain UDP packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service. This issue
only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2002-2443)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled null bytes in certain
data fields. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu
14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-5355)

It was discovered that the Kerberos kdcpreauth modules incorrectly tracked
certain client requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to bypass intended preauthentication requirements. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-2694)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain SPNEGO packets.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2015-2695)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain IAKERB packets.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2015-2696, CVE-2015-2698)

It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain TGS requests. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-2697)
