An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-5355 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mit Kerberos 5. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5355/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5355/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-5355","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5355/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-5355","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-5355","GHSA-cmh6-3x5j-qf2g","MGASA-2015-0119","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-5355"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kerberos authentication server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in MIT Kerberos 5 via malformed version strings, affecting authentication services.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kerberos_5","vendor":"mit"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.13.1 incorrectly expects that a krb5_read_message data field is represented as a string ending with a '\\0' character, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a zero-byte version string or (2) cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by omitting the '\\0' character, related to appl/user_user/server.c and lib/krb5/krb/recvauth.c.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-5355","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mit:kerberos_5","products":["mit:kerberos_5"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"OpenStack Glance improper validation of the image_size_cap configuration option","id":"CVE-2014-5356"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-5354"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-02-20","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-04-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-03-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-12-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4743","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3999","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0514","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in krb5 1.5","id":"CVE-2017-15088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in MIT Kerberos 5 via malformed version strings, affecting authentication services.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5355/"}
