Summary
[none]
Details

clean_client() in lib/rpc/svc_auth_gssapi.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) restarts its scan from the head of the client list after each removal, resulting in quadratic CPU cost. Remote attackers can cause a denial of service (CPU consumption in kadmind) by accumulating a large number of AUTH_GSSAPI client entries.
