========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7257-1 February 05, 2025
krb5 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:
A system authentication measure could be bypassed.
Software Description:
- krb5: MIT Kerberos Network Authentication Protocol
Details:
Goldberg, Miro Haller, Nadia Heninger, Mike Milano, Dan Shumow, Marc
Stevens, and Adam Suhl discovered that Kerberos incorrectly authenticated
certain responses. An attacker able to intercept communications between a
RADIUS client and server could possibly use this issue to forge responses,
bypass authentication, and access network devices and services.
This update introduces support for the Message-Authenticator attribute in
non-EAP authentication methods for communications between Kerberos and a
RADIUS server.
