CVE-2007-5894 Description

The reply function in ftpd.c in the gssftp ftpd in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) does not initialize the length variable when auth_type has a certain value, which has unknown impact and remote authenticated attack vectors. NOTE: the original disclosure misidentifies the conditions under which the uninitialized variable is used. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating " The \'length\' variable is only uninitialized if \'auth_type\' is neither the \'KERBEROS_V4\' nor \'GSSAPI\'; this condition cannot occur in the unmodified source code.
