A heap-based buffer overflow in the Kerberos hash parser in hashcat v7.1.2 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Kerberos hash file. The issue affects module_hash_decode in multiple Kerberos-related modules because account_info_len is calculated from untrusted delimiter positions without upper-bound validation before memcpy copies the data into a fixed-size account_info buffer.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in hashcat 7.1.2's Kerberos hash parser enables remote code execution without authentication. Attacker supplies a maliciously crafted Kerberos hash file with manipulated delimiter positions to overflow the fixed-size account_info buffer during memcpy operations in module_hash_decode. …

Within 24 hours: Inventory all hashcat deployments and identify systems running version 7.1.2; restrict file upload/import capabilities and implement file validation where possible. Within 7 days: Establish user awareness training prohibiting opening untrusted hash files from external sources; isolate affected systems from production networks if operationally feasible. …
