Summary
By sending a deeply nested ASN1 structure to a Apache Kerby client or service, it's possible to trigger a StackOverFlow Exception which can lead to denial of service issues. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.2, which fixes this issue.
A remote attacker could send a deeply nested Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) structure to an Apache Kerby client or service, triggering a stack overflow exception. This could lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition, making the service unavailable to legitimate users.
This Moderate flaw in Apache Kerby, as used in several Red Hat products, allows a remote attacker to trigger a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted, deeply nested ASN.1 structure to a vulnerable client or service, an attacker can cause a stack overflow, leading to service unavailability.
This impact is considered Moderate due to the potential for disruption of critical services. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-776. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat AMQ Clients; Red Hat Build of Keycloak; Red Hat Data Grid 8; Red Hat Fuse 7; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI); Red Hat Single Sign-On 7; streams for Apache Kafka 2; streams for Apache Kafka 3.
