Description Jennifer Sutton 2023-10-09 23:03:01 UTC 
The KDC doesn’t allocate enough memory for the ‘heim_octet_string’ containing the freshness token.

This is hard to score.  If there is any impact at all, it is likely to be a DoS, but there is a chance that some other other thing is in the area the malloc() result pointer is written do.

Repeated testing on x86_64 Linux has not even seen a crash.

Either way, while a CVE has been requested (to ensure that everyone picks up Samba 4.19.1 next week with this in it), a new security release feels unwarranted.   (I had scored this as 5.0 previously which is why this didn't get discussed, but re-scoring today I get a higher score for some reason).
Comment 2 Andrew Bartlett 2023-10-10 22:07:06 UTC 
Update, this requires authentication, so 

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H (5.9)
