AI-suggested
Red Hat currently does not provide a mitigation that meets their criteria for ease of use, deployment, applicability, or stability. Users should monitor Red Hat advisories for any future fixes or mitigations. Since the vulnerability requires attacker control over RPC endpoints or network interception, limiting exposure to untrusted networks may reduce risk.
Description
A vulnerability in MIT Kerberos 5's clnttcp_call() function in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 causes a memory leak in GSS-RPC client programs by not freeing the RPC reply verifier between retries. This can be exploited by remote attackers who control an RPC endpoint or intercept client network traffic to cause a denial of service through resource exhaustion. The flaw affects client-side RPC processing only and does not impact authentication servers or default daemon operations. Exploitation requires continuous malformed responses during an active transaction and does not compromise data integrity or confidentiality. Red Hat rates this vulnerability as Moderate and currently has no effective mitigation that meets their criteria.
