This signature detects attempts to exploit a known denial of service vulnerability in MIT's Kerberos KDC. It is due to an assertion failure when handling invalid Authentication Service requests. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this by sending a crafted AS-REQ packet to the target KDC, causing it to crash, creating a denial-of-service condition.
Double free vulnerability in do_tgs_req.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7.x and 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a request associated with (1) renewal or (2) validation.
