Heimdal is an implementation of ASN.1/DER, PKIX, and Kerberos. Versions prior to 7.7.1 are vulnerable to a denial of service vulnerability in Heimdal's PKI certificate validation library, affecting the KDC (via PKINIT) and kinit (via PKINIT), as well as any third-party applications using Heimdal's libhx509. Users should upgrade to Heimdal 7.7.1 or 7.8. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202310-06 (Heimdal: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - All Samba versions 4.x.x before 4.9.17, 4.10.x before 4.10.11 and 4.11.x before 4.11.3 have an issue,     where the S4U (MS-SFU) Kerberos delegation model includes a feature allowing for a subset of clients to be     opted out of constrained delegation in any way, either S4U2Self or regular Kerberos authentication, by     forcing all tickets for these clients to be non-forwardable. In AD this is implemented by a user attribute     delegation_not_allowed (aka not-delegated), which translates to disallow-forwardable. However the Samba AD     DC does not do that for S4U2Self and does set the forwardable flag even if the impersonated client has the     not-delegated flag set. (CVE-2019-14870)

  - Heimdal before 7.7.1 allows attackers to cause a NULL pointer dereference in a SPNEGO acceptor via a     preferred_mech_type of GSS_C_NO_OID and a nonzero initial_response value to send_accept. (CVE-2021-44758)

  - 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. (CVE-2022-3437)

  - A vulnerability classified as critical was found in SourceCodester eLearning System 1.0. This     vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /admin/students/manage.php. The manipulation of the     argument id leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed     to the public and may be used. VDB-212014 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2022-3671)

  - Heimdal is an implementation of ASN.1/DER, PKIX, and Kerberos. Versions prior to 7.7.1 are vulnerable to a     denial of service vulnerability in Heimdal's PKI certificate validation library, affecting the KDC (via     PKINIT) and kinit (via PKINIT), as well as any third-party applications using Heimdal's libhx509. Users     should upgrade to Heimdal 7.7.1 or 7.8. There are no known workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2022-41916)

  - PAC parsing in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.19.4 and 1.20.x before 1.20.1 has integer overflows that     may lead to remote code execution (in KDC, kadmind, or a GSS or Kerberos application server) on 32-bit     platforms (which have a resultant heap-based buffer overflow), and cause a denial of service on other     platforms. This occurs in krb5_pac_parse in lib/krb5/krb/pac.c. Heimdal before 7.7.1 has a similar bug.
    (CVE-2022-42898)

  - Heimdal before 7.7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because of an invalid free in the     ASN.1 codec used by the Key Distribution Center (KDC). (CVE-2022-44640)

  - The fix for CVE-2022-3437 included changing memcmp to be constant time and a workaround for a compiler bug     by adding != 0 comparisons to the result of memcmp. When these patches were backported to the     heimdal-7.7.1 and heimdal-7.8.0 branches (and possibly other branches) a logic inversion sneaked in     causing the validation of message integrity codes in gssapi/arcfour to be inverted. (CVE-2022-45142)

  -  Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.  (CVE-2022-44758)

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in heimdal, an     implementation of the Kerberos 5 authentication protocol, which may     result in denial of service, information disclosure, or remote code     execution.

    CVE-2019-14870

        Isaac Boukris reported that the Heimdal KDC before 7.7.1 does not         apply delegation_not_allowed (aka not-delegated) user attributes for         S4U2Self.  Instead the forwardable flag is set even if the         impersonated client has the not-delegated flag set.

    CVE-2021-3671

        Joseph Sutton discovered that the Heimdal KDC before 7.7.1 does not         check for missing missing sname in TGS-REQ (Ticket Granting Server -         Request) before before dereferencing.  An authenticated user could         use this flaw to crash the KDC.

    CVE-2021-44758

        It was discovered that Heimdal is prone to a NULL dereference in         acceptors when the initial SPNEGO token has no acceptable         mechanisms, which may result in denial of service for a server         application that uses the Simple and Protected GSSAPI Negotiation         Mechanism (SPNEGO).

    CVE-2022-3437

        Evgeny Legerov reported that the DES and Triple-DES decryption         routines in the Heimdal GSSAPI library before 7.7.1 were prone to         buffer overflow on malloc() allocated memory when presented with a         maliciously small packet.  In addition, the Triple-DES and RC4         (arcfour) decryption routine were prone to non-constant time leaks,         which could potentially yield to a leak of secret key material when         using these ciphers.

    CVE-2022-41916

        It was discovered that Heimdal's PKI certificate validation library         before 7.7.1 can under some circumstances perform an out-of-bounds         memory access when normalizing Unicode, which may result in denial         of service.

    CVE-2022-42898

        Greg Hudson discovered an integer multiplication overflow in the         Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) parsing routine, which may         result in denial of service for Heimdal KDCs and possibly Heimdal         servers (e.g., via GSS-API) on 32-bit systems.

    CVE-2022-44640

        Douglas Bagnall and the Heimdal maintainers independently discovered         that Heimdal's ASN.1 compiler before 7.7.1 generates code that         allows specially crafted DER encodings of CHOICEs to invoke the         wrong free() function on the decoded structure upon decode error,         which may result in remote code execution in the Heimdal KDC and         possibly the Kerberos client, the X.509 library, and other         components as well.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     7.5.0+dfsg-3+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your heimdal packages.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5287 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Heimdal, an implementation of Kerberos 5 that aims to be     compatible with MIT Kerberos. CVE-2021-3671 Joseph Sutton discovered that the Heimdal KDC does not     validate that the server name in the TGS-REQ is present before dereferencing, which may result in denial     of service. CVE-2021-44758 It was discovered that Heimdal is prone to a NULL dereference in acceptors     where an initial SPNEGO token that has no acceptable mechanisms, which may result in denial of service for     a server application that uses SPNEGO. CVE-2022-3437 Several buffer overflow flaws and non-constant time     leaks were discovered when using 1DES, 3DES or RC4 (arcfour). CVE-2022-41916 An out-of-bounds memory     access was discovered when Heimdal normalizes Unicode, which may result in denial of service.
    CVE-2022-42898 It was discovered that integer overflows in PAC parsing may result in denial of service for     Heimdal KDCs or possibly Heimdal servers. CVE-2022-44640 It was discovered that the Heimdal's ASN.1     compiler generates code that allows specially crafted DER encodings to invoke an invalid free on the     decoded structure upon decode error, which may result in remote code execution in the Heimdal KDC. For the     stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 7.7.0+dfsg-2+deb11u2. We     recommend that you upgrade your heimdal packages.
