Details

The server-side portion of Kerberos’ RPC library had a memory
management flaw which allowed users of that library to call a function
pointer located in unallocated memory. By doing specially crafted
calls to the kadmind server, a remote attacker could exploit this to
execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the target computer.
