      "value": "Zeek before 8.0.9 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in its Kerberos protocol analyzer that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the sensor by sending a crafted KRB_ERROR message with error-code 25 (KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_REQUIRED) containing a PA-DATA element with padata-type 2, 3, 11, or 19. Attackers can exploit a parser and analyzer state mismatch where proc_padata() dereferences an uninitialized pa_data_element field selected by the wrong parsing arm, triggering a crash via a single UDP or TCP packet to port 88 without any credentials or prior authentication."

      "value": "Zeek anterior a 8.0.9 contiene una vulnerabilidad de desreferencia de puntero nulo en su analizador del protocolo Kerberos que permite a atacantes remotos no autenticados bloquear el sensor enviando un mensaje KRB_ERROR manipulado con código de error 25 (KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_REQUIRED) que contiene un elemento PA-DATA con tipo de padata 2, 3, 11 o 19. Los atacantes pueden explotar una falta de coincidencia de estado entre el analizador sintáctico y el analizador donde proc_padata() desreferencia un campo pa_data_element no inicializado seleccionado por la rama de análisis incorrecta, lo que desencadena un bloqueo a través de un único paquete UDP o TCP al puerto 88 sin credenciales ni autenticación previa."
