What is CVE-2017-11103?

CVE-2017-11103 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Apple Iphone Os, published on 13 Jul 2017. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Heimdal before 7.4 allows remote attackers to impersonate services with Orpheus' Lyre attacks because it obtains service-principal names in a way that violates the Kerberos 5 protocol specification. In _krb5_extract_ticket() the KDC-REP service name must be obtained from the encrypted version stored in 'enc_part' instead of the unencrypted version stored in 'ticket'. Use of the unencrypted version provides an opportunity for successful server impersonation and other attacks. NOTE: this CVE is only for Heimdal and other products that embed Heimdal code; it does not apply to other instances in which this part of the Kerberos 5 protocol specification is violated.

Weakness: CWE-345
