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.","dates":{"published":"2007-12-06T02:00:00.000Z","modified":"2024-08-07T15:47:00.553Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":9.3,"severity":"high","version":"2.0","versionLabel":"v2.0","source":"NVD","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"2.0","versionLabel":"v2.0","source":"NVD","score":9.3,"severity":"high","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.02685,"percentile":0.85628,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":0,"baselineDate":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","baselineScore":0.02685},"history":[{"date":"2026-09-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":0.85628}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.02685,"percentile":null},{"dat
