CVE-2022-3437

samba: heap buffer overflow in GSSAPI unwrap_des() and unwrap_des3() routines of Heimdal

Published Jan 12, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 4.3 Medium EPSS 4.0% KEV · Not listed
Description
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Samba within the GSSAPI unwrap_des() and unwrap_des3() routines of Heimdal. The DES and Triple-DES decryption routines in the Heimdal GSSAPI library allow a length-limited write buffer overflow on malloc() allocated memory when presented with a maliciously small packet. This flaw allows a remote user to send specially crafted malicious data to the application, possibly resulting in a denial of service (DoS) attack.
