CVE-2018-5709 severity moderate: SUSE including 13 source package names (krb5, krb5-32bit, …), 125 product×package rows across 35 product lines (Magnum Orchestration 7, SLES for SAP Applications 11 SP3, … (35 product lines)): Known Not Affected 125.
An issue was discovered in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.16. There is a variable "dbentry->n_key_data" in kadmin/dbutil/dump.c that can store 16-bit data but unknowingly the developer has assigned a "u4" variable to it, which is for 32-bit data. An attacker can use this vulnerability to affect other artifacts of the database as we know that a Kerberos database dump file contains trusted data.
