CVE-2006-6652

TITLE

Kerberos administration daemon may free uninitialized pointers

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in the glob implementation (glob.c) in libc in NetBSD-current before 20050914, NetBSD 2.* and 3.* before 20061203, and Apple Mac OS X before 2007-004, as used by the FTP daemon and tnftpd, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long pathname that results from path expansion. A vulnerability exists in the Kerberos administration daemon that may allow a remote, unauthenticated user to free uninitialized pointers. Freeing uninitialized pointers corrupts memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute code. NetBSD ftpd and tnftpd are prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to an off-by-one error; it allows attackers to corrupt memory. Remote attackers may execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is proud to announce the availability of the Secunia Software Inspector.
