🛡️ AZL-43606 — gssntlmssp
Description
CVE-2023-25565 affecting package gssntlmssp 0.9.0-2
GSS-NTLMSSP is a mechglue plugin for the GSSAPI library that implements NTLM authentication. Prior to version 1.2.0, an incorrect free when decoding target information can trigger a denial of service. The error condition incorrectly assumes the cb and sh buffers contain a copy of the data that needs to be freed. However, that is not the case. This vulnerability can be triggered via the main gss_accept_sec_context entry point. This will likely trigger an assertion failure in free, causing a denial-of-service. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.0.
How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.
