CVE-2026-107778
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-xfjm-wc9w-mmc6 ↗EUVD-2026-95256 ↗
description
MIT krb5 through 1.22.2 is affected when GSS-API acceptor services process certain forwarded Kerberos credentials. An authenticated client can cause an affected service to crash, resulting in denial of service. Exploitation requires the attacker to authenticate to the relevant Kerberos service.
mitigation
Limit GSS-API acceptor access to trusted Kerberos principals and restrict forwarded credentials where operationally feasible. Track vendor updates and upgrade to a release identified as fixing the issue; no fixed version is recorded here.
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
