CVE-2010-0433

openssl: crash caused by a missing krb5_sname_to_principal() return value check

Published Mar 5, 2010 CVSS 2.0 · 4.3 Medium EPSS 7.9% KEV · Not listed
Description
The kssl_keytab_is_available function in ssl/kssl.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8n, when Kerberos is enabled but Kerberos configuration files cannot be opened, does not check a certain return value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via SSL cipher negotiation, as demonstrated by a chroot installation of Dovecot or stunnel without Kerberos configuration files inside the chroot.
