CVE-2007-5939

Publication date 6 December 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The gss_userok function in appl/ftp/ftpd/gss_userok.c in Heimdal 0.7.2 does not allocate memory for the ticketfile pointer before calling free, which allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an invalid username. NOTE: the vulnerability was originally reported for ftpd.c, but this is incorrect.
