NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream krb5
package and not the krb5
package as distributed by Debian

See How to fix?
for Debian:11
relevant fixed versions and status.
The kadm5_modify_policy_internal function in lib/kadm5/srv/svr_policy.c in the Kerberos administration daemon (kadmind) in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.5 through 1.6.2 does not properly check return values when the policy does not exist, which might allow remote authenticated users with the "modify policy" privilege to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger a write to an uninitialized pointer.
