CVSS 3.1
5.3 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NCVE-2015-8629
The xdr_nullstring function in lib/kadm5/kadm_rpc_xdr.c in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.13.4 and 1.14.x before 1.14.1 does not verify whether '\0' characters exist as expected, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted string.
