iDefense Security Advisory 04.03.07 - Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Kerberos kadmind server, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on a targeted host. The vulnerability exists within the server's logging function, klog_vsyslog(). A call is made to vsprintf(), with the destination buffer passed as a fixed size stack buffer. User input is not properly validated before being passed to this function, and a stack based buffer overflow can occur. iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability with Kerberos version 1.5.1 on Fedora CORE 5. It is likely that all distributions that contain this version of Kerberos are vulnerable.
