Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-44640)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in ASN.1 codec in Heimdal. The ASN.1 compiler generates code that allows specially crafted DER encodings of CHOICEs to invoke the wrong free function on the decoded structure upon decode error. This is known to impact the Heimdal KDC, leading to an invalid free() of an address partly or wholly under the control of the attacker. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the system.
