An unspecified third-party database module for the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.10.x allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted request, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1418.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can crash a Kerberos Key Distribution Center, which may interrupt authentication for dependent systems. The source bundle says it affects MIT Kerberos 5 1.10.x when an unspecified third-party database module is involved. Evidence does not show data theft or privilege escalation, but authentication outages can be operationally significant. Likely exposure is limited to organizations running MIT Kerberos 5 1.10.x KDCs with the affected third-party database module. The bundle does not identify the module, downstream distributions, package names, or default configurations. Treat this as an availability risk to identity infrastructure. Prioritize if legacy MIT Kerberos 5 1.10.x KDCs remain in production, especially where Kerberos outage would disrupt business services. Mitigation focus: Inventory MIT Kerberos KDC versions and database modules in use.; Check MIT Kerberos and operating-system vendor guidance for fixed packages.; Prioritize remediation where Kerberos supports production authentication..
