APP: MIT Kerberos Cross-Realm Referrals KDC Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against MIT Kerberos. The vulnerability is due to a NULL pointer dereference within the process_tgs_req function. A successful attack can allow a remote authenticated attacker to trigger a denial of service condition on the targeted application.
Extended Description
do_tgs_req.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.11 before 1.11.4, when a single-component realm name is used, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a TGS-REQ request that triggers an attempted cross-realm referral for a host-based service principal.
