Red Hat advises restricting network access to the kadmind service to trusted hosts only. Alternatively, disable kadmind and use the kadmin.local command line tool for administrative operations if feasible.
Description
CVE-2026-112316 is a vulnerability in MIT Kerberos 5's kadmind service on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 where a failure to free partially decoded data during RPC request processing can lead to a memory leak. This allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service by exhausting process memory. Exploitation requires valid authentication and does not enable code execution or data leakage. Red Hat rates this as an Important severity issue with a CVSS score of 6.5.
