Description

Buffer overflow in the RPC library (lib/rpc/rpc_dtablesize.c) used by libgssrpc and kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.2.2, and probably other versions before 1.3, when running on systems whose unistd.h does not define the FD_SETSIZE macro, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering a large number of open file descriptors.

Related CWEs

Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
