Kerberos 5 Vulnerabilities

MIT Kerberos 5 Multiple Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities: Two distinct but similar vulnerabilities in the Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC) could allow a remote attacker to execute code of their choice on the victim server, possibly resulting in total compromise of the Kerberos environment.

Vulnerabilities in a critical security system infrastructure such as a KDC should be addressed immediately, if for no other reason than to ensure the continued confidence in such a critical piece of infrastructure. Neither of these vulnerabilities appears to have exploit code produced, but given the high value of compromise, it?s unlikely that this will continue for very long.
