Discussion

MIT Kerberos 5 Multiple Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities

MIT Kerberos 5 is prone to multiple local privilege-escalation vulnerabilities because it fails to properly implement privilege-dropping functionality when used in conjunction with Linux 2.6 kernels or with AIX operating systems.

This issue allows local attackers to gain superuser privileges, facilitating the complete compromise of affected computers.
