CVE-2026-112323 | BDVDB-2026-402215 Detail

Red HatRed Hat Enterprise Linux 10

Description#

The AUTH_GSSAPI handler in lib/rpc/svc_auth_gssapi.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5.2 and later allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion in kadmind) by sending repeated failed AUTH_GSSAPI_INIT requests. Each failed request allocates client state that is only freed after a 15-minute expiration timeout, allowing an attacker to accumulate memory faster than it is reclaimed.

Impact#

Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact none, integrity impact none, availability impact high. Attack vector: network.

Weaknesses#
