CVE-2010-0283
The Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 before 1.7.2, and 1.8 alpha, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon crash) via an invalid (1) AS-REQ or (2) TGS-REQ request.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
