CVE-2015-2695: lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.14 relies on an inappropriate context...

lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.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 SPNEGO packet that is mishandled during a gss_inquire_context call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote attacker crash software that uses vulnerable MIT Kerberos SPNEGO handling. The business impact is availability loss, not proven data theft or system takeover, based on the provided sources. Systems using krb5 before 1.14 or vendor packages derived from it should be prioritized for patch verification. Exposure is most likely on servers or applications using MIT krb5 GSSAPI/SPNEGO, especially older Linux or UNIX distributions that shipped affected krb5 packages. The source bundle does not provide a complete product matrix or fixed package versions. Treat this as a patch-verification item for availability risk. It is not supported as actively exploited in the supplied evidence, but exposed authentication services using old krb5 can be disrupted remotely. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MIT Kerberos krb5 to 1.14 or a vendor-supported fixed package.; Review Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Gentoo, and Oracle advisories for platform-specific guidance.; Prioritize internet-facing or business-critical services using GSSAPI/SPNEGO..
