Fix LDAP misused policy name crash [CVE-2014-5353] In krb5_ldap_get_password_policy_from_dn, if LDAP_SEARCH returns successfully with no results, return KRB5_KDB_NOENTRY instead of returning success with a zeroed-out policy object. This fixes a null dereference when an admin attempts to use an LDAP ticket policy name as a password policy name. CVE-2014-5353: In MIT krb5, when kadmind is configured to use LDAP for the KDC database, an authenticated remote attacker can cause a NULL dereference by attempting to use a named ticket policy object as a password policy for a principal. The attacker needs to be authenticated as a user who has the elevated privilege for setting password policy by adding or modifying principals. Queries to LDAP scoped to the krbPwdPolicy object class will correctly not return entries of other classes, such as ticket policy objects, but may return success with no returned elements if an object with the requested DN exists in a different object class. In this case, the routine to retrieve a password policy returned success with a password policy object that consisted entirely of zeroed memory. In particular, accesses to the policy name will dereference a NULL pointer. KDC operation does not access the policy name field, but most kadmin operations involving the principal with incorrect password policy will trigger the crash. Thanks to Patrik Kis for reporting this problem.
